RE: Peak charging NiMH packs: do you or don't you? General consensus...
KC36330, Sorry you are in error. Impedance is the impeding of current flow, whether it be pulsed, ac, dc or whatever. It consists of two parts, reactance (due to capacitance or inductance) and resistance (that part of the impedance in phase with the current. To be correct, you should always refer to impedance, not resistance when you are talking about electrical current and the forces impeding that current. When you get into AC current, you also have to worry about phase due to the impedance.
