Abstract
A brief review of the theory pertaining to the impedance of electrolytic cells is presented. Differences between the operational representations of cell impedances in the fields of electrochemistry and electrical engineering are noted. The experimental data on the impedance of complete batteries, available from the literature, is critically reviewed. The results are discussed in terms of the generation of a nondestructive,in situ, state-of-charge test.
