Really? I'm talking about flooded cells not gel. I think large
automotive engine start battery might only have 20 milliohms
resistance. But the only NiCd I know about are the AA sized ones.
Not fair to compare. Perhaps a size size NiCd would be even better.
I don't know.
Got a reference, Google did not turn up much. I'd expect that some
place there might be a table.
I've powered resonably large transmitters with a bank of golf cart
batteries. Not because I needed the low noise but because this was on
a sail boat in the ocean.
