Re: BatteryBeak: Utility of making internal resistance and state of charge measuremen

Yes, sorry.
I am referring to discharging a battery to only 50% depth of discharge.
I am wondering if the state of charge measurement after two minutes of activity (real match or simulated match) is accurate enough to allow promoting a 50% discharge policy with my team or to use as a troubleshooting technique to indicate that the robot uses too much power. I suspect that due to surface charge, it may not be.
