(...) you are confusing mAh capacity (the amount of energy stored in the battery) with how fast the batt can deliver the power. the two are not the same. the fuse is in the design because nicad cells can deliver a *DANGEROUS* amount of power if (...)

I think that if you use a 9.6 V NiCd battery pack with less than a couple thousand mAH capacity, you probably have nothing to worry (...) (27 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Would the internal resistance of the battery be shown if I measure (...) (27 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
