Battery Internal Resistance Testing Explained
A failing battery can hold 12.6 V open-circuit while its internal resistance has already tripled, collapsing under load. Internal resistance testing catches the failure mode that voltage monitoring completely misses.

Web Tension Control
As roll diameter grows from core to full roll, constant tension crushes inner layers. Taper tension reduces setpoint as diameter increases, and inertia compensation adds dynamic torque during acceleration.
