Determining Battery-Deterioration Evaluation Values
3.7 Determining Battery-Deterioration
Evaluation Values
To evaluate whether batteries have deteriorated, rst, measure
the internal resistance of a fresh or non-defective battery, and then
decide the battery-deterioration evaluation values.
Deteriorated batteries will have about 1.5 to 2 times (values for
reference purposes) as high internal resistance, generating only
0.9 times as high voltage as a fresh one. Use these values as
guidelines when determining deterioration evaluation values.

The above values will vary depending on the manufacturer and
battery model.
