Pack Internal Resistance

The heat generated by the cells is dominated by Joule heating and this is equal to the resistance multiplied by the current squared. The heat generated in the busbars is related to the resistance of the busbar. This is the same for the contactors, fuses and connectors. Hence. high power capability is related to low internal resistance, this is true for single cells and packs.
