Measuring internal resistance of the battery
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）.
Note: You can check the internal resistance by Present testing information; see detail information in Page
8.
