Equations derived from electrical circuit theory form the basis of a laboratory technique to characterize the components of the electrical equivalent circuit of rechargeable batteries. The experiment is a useful laboratory complement to lectures on energy courses for electrical engineering students. Results for lead acid batteries are presented in this study.
