This is a very good idea...It will also help you squeeze more operation
out of a good battery as the charge drops off (on current peaks.)

I dont think a battery has any internal impedance tho...unless you apply
some AC to it. Then you will have other problems....A battery has 
internal resistance...AD4YH
