RMM, I wasn’t insulted at all. Like I said, I am hoping I am wrong.
Just to show you how things go, I am revisiting this post because I just realized my math was wrong. The cells dropped 0.26V, not 0.20. So the internal resistance of the cells comes out to 104 miliohms.
You know it’s funny, that trick about soldering the test leads directly to inside of the meter that you mention, you learned from me. I hooked a bunch of meters into the same circuit.. I learned it from Pulsar13 . I NEVER GOT AROUND TO DOING IT. Shame on me.
If I were to blow a meter, so what? My wife just so happens to be picking up another FREE one at HF tonight on her way home from work.
Hows that for a loving wife.
