Short-circuit current

Latest updated: Jan 24, 2024

The maximum current that a battery can deliver to an external circuit with zero resistance or with the battery voltage reduced to near zero volts.


Note: Zero resistance is an imaginary condition, and in reality, the short-circuit current is the maximum current that flows in a circuit with a resistance significantly lower than the internal resistance of the battery.
