Performance Characteristics

Internal Resistance
Alkaline cells, because of their compact construction and highly conductive electrolyte, have low internal resistance, usually less than 1 ohm. The low internal resistance characteristic is a benefit in applications involving high current pulses. Unlike zinc-carbon cells, alkaline cells do not require rest periods between pulses and maintain their low internal resistance, increasing only at the very end of useful life.
