In general the internal resistance of a battery is not a fixed value It varies over time as the battery loses energy and also varies depending on the load or how much current is drawn from the battery One of the urgent requirements of a battery is low internal resistance Measured in milliohms the internal resistance is the gatekeeper that to a large extent determines the runtime The lower the resistance the less restriction the battery encounters in delivering the needed power spikes The iCharger can not only measure the internal resistance of the battery pack and also can measure the per cell internal resistance only available for lithium battery Measure Internal Resistance Batt type Start Enter Stop gt 3 seconds 1 21 24 19mQ 4 18 26 16mQ Inc gt lt Dec Battery Pack IR 202mQ Measure internal resistance You can press Start Enter for more than 3 seconds to start the process and stop at any time by pressing Batt type Stop The two lines show the first to the sixth cell s internal resistance which is only available for the lithium battery Press Inc or lt Dec to display more information of the seventh to the tenth cell s internal resistance Press Start Enter to measure it again and press Batt type Stop to return to the main menu Status display This screen displays the battery pack internal resistance Press Inc or lt Dec to display the General Status information Press Start Enter
