Temperature has a big impact on the measurement.<br><br>Also, how are you measuring the resistance? <br><br>If those are the resistance values (6 per cell) at 70F measured with an iCharger, FMA charger or Giles dedicated meter, then the pack is starting to get 'tired'. However, if they get you thru your sequence and isn't too hot at the end, go ahead and use them until they don't perform adequately.<br><br>Another thing that can kinda sneak up on you is lipo packs gradually loose capacity over time. If you fly the same sequence each time and the voltage at the end gets lower and lower, the packs are probably loosing total capacity.<br><br>Don<o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>-----Original Message-----<br>From: Ron Hansen via NSRCA-discussion <<a href="mailto:nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a>><br>To: NSCRA Discussion List <<a href="mailto:nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a>><br>Sent: Sun, Jun 7, 2015 7:24 am<br>Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Battery Resistance<o:p></o:p></span></p><div id="AOLMsgPart_1.2_8709ee0a-ecfa-427d-903e-fb7a1b6d2a5a"><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>How do I know when it is time to replace my batteries.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>The total resistance in my 5 cell Zippy Compacts is 30 – 33 milli ohms (about 6 per cell).<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Thanks<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><br><br>__________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 11748 (20150607) __________ <br><br>The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. <br><br><a href="http://www.eset.com" target="_blank">http://www.eset.com</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><div id="AOLMsgPart_2_12cd000a-bcc0-4df0-b64f-8336f6193f52"><pre style='background:white'><tt><span style='color:black'>_______________________________________________</span><o:p></o:p></tt></pre><pre style='background:white'><tt><span style='color:black'>NSRCA-discussion mailing<o:p></o:p></span></tt></pre><pre style='background:white'><tt><span style='color:black'>list<o:p></o:p></span></tt></pre><pre style='background:white'><tt><span style='color:black'><a href="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a><o:p></o:p></span></tt></pre><pre style='background:white'><tt><span style='color:black'><a href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion" target="_blank">http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</a></span></tt><span style='font-size:9.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></pre></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><br><br>__________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 11748 (20150607) __________<br><br>The message was checked by ESET Smart Security.<br><br><a href="http://www.eset.com">http://www.eset.com</a><o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
