Selecting
charging
Charger has an unique function that can test the internal
resistance (IR) of inserted cells. The test is carried out
automatically just after the battery is placed in any of the slots
This is very usefull to determine in what condition is the battery.
Together with capacity test it's all you need to have a full
knowledge about your battery health. Please note that the IR
measurement is very sensitive and there can be some
measurement
charger can be a bit too optimistic, especially with Li-ion
batteries. The IR results tend to increase due to aging of
batteries and charger (due to increased contact resistance). As
for the consumer grade charger the IR results are very accurate
and allow to easily compare the cells between each other. For
optimum results the battery should be charged in about 30-70%
Measuring the IR on the discharged or nearly charged battery
may bring false results.
