It's an interesting question. I haven't seen this specific question answered here on CD.

Are there any teams out there who regularly measured and recorded internal resistance and state-of-charge using battery beak, before and after each match? Would you be willing to post your data (and procedure*) here?


*for example, how long did you wait after charging (to let surface charge dissipate) to measure the before-match values, and how long did you wait after the match (to let the battery stabilize) to measure the values
