Battery terminal voltage and internal resistance
I read somewhere that a battery reaches the end of its useful life because of an increase in its internal resistance rather than a decrease in its open-circuit terminal voltage. Is it correct?

Are the AC resistances in the hybrid pi model and the T model of BJT the same?
I have been wondering if the AC resistances in the two models of BJT circuit mean the same thing, that is
$$r_{c} = r_{c'}$$
$$r_{b} = r_{b'}$$
$$r_{ex} = r_{e'}$$
If they are different, please ...
