What is this "power source" you speak of? Sources rarely have constant internal resistance over their entire current range.
Why do you want maximum power output? Apart from being an interesting theoretical value, charging a battery has nothing to do with maximum power transfer but everything to do with properly following a battery's recommended charging profile.
Let's get these out of the way first and consider your other questions later
