The voltage is down to 2.58 with a battery impedance of 7 ______. Is that coulombs?

No, you're right. Either 7 Kohms or 7000 ohms maybe (nm)

I don't know how to make the symbol for the ohms but there is one out there. I would go with the 7000 ohms if you can't make the symbol. But that is just me since the kilo means "thousand" anyway.
