Some battery drivers provide the ability to export internal resistance
as a parameter. Add internal_resistance power supply property for that
purpose.

+ Represent the battery's internal resistance, often referred

+ parameter that reflects the opposition to current flow within
+ the cell. It is not a fixed value but varies significantly

+ is in a charging or discharging state.
