At a fixed time and temperature, is it safe to model a battery as a
fixed voltage source behind a series resistance?  Possibly, additionally,
a parallel RC to cover transients?

In particular, does the model need to change based on whether the
battery is being charged or discharged?  (i.e., to estimate that
series resistance)

 I've wondered about electro-chemical time lags, ions drifting around
in liquids, as in what would the Spice model of some battery be?

That's what Warburg impedances are about.

And
on a slower time scale, the morphology of a battery changes with time.
Nearly discharged batteries sure go Hi-Z.
 What we need here is a good physical chemistry guy.

I've got a Ph.D. in physical chemistry, but batteries are electrochemistry - I know a guy who has just completed a Ph.D. with a thesis on a particular lithium ion battery chemistry. It's a specialised subject.
