goddamnit you are a tool...

Static potential of a battery is COMPLETELY different to the potential measured under load. EMF, electromotive force, doesnt only apply to forces experienced in primary windings. It is ALSO responsible for the potential that you measure of battery type power source in a zero state current draw situation.

being an advanced dimploma holder, youd know that without the prsence of a current, there is NO resistance. and as you'd also know, resistance is responsible fr the reduction in potential between two points.

So, taking these two Facts: when no current is being drwan from a battery, the internal resistance of a battery is NIL, and thus the TOTAL EMF of the battery can be read at the terminals with a potentiometer. this reading is an OVERESTIMATION of the operating potential of the battery, as the seccond current is drawn from a battery, its internal resistance becomes apparent, and the potential between the terminals DROPS.

so, keeping it VERY SIMPLE for you, my friend...

-all batteries have internal resistance
-battery on bench top has NO current draw
-without current draw, no internal resistance is measurable
-THUS youll get over 12V (usualy 13.5 ish - anyone?) when you measure a battery in your garage. Put it in the car (not running) put the lights on, and then measure the potential - around or under 12v. start the car, and watch the potential go up (to even 16v) thanks to the alternator.

the battery should only contribute to the runnings of the car for brief periods of time when the alternator cannot compenstae for some huge current demand like Sub + driving lights + high beam.

the rest of the time it is on charge, or sitting idle.

take a fucking pill and chill out dude
