In another thread I noticed someone mentioned testing individual battery cells with an ohm meter. Is there a discussion somewhere where it is explained how to do this? Thanks for the help.

I -- * * * __ <<< This looking at the battery terminals,
I set my volt meter at 20 volts to measure
This was from PatR diagram or Steve Carr???
When looking at the battery using a ohm meter,
The prongs are to touch only B to C, then C to D, D to E, and E to F any other way then BOOOM!
Just kidding, not sure what will happen
If your not comfortable using a meter then refer to PatR comments below.

Had to have come from someone else. I try not to post directions where someone that doesn’t follow them can blow something up. However, I will recommend buying a battery adapter that allows connecting a simple voltage alarm to it, or a charger that will provide individual cell voltages.

If you are testing the H batteries you need the aftermarket cable. If it's the Q500 batt you can use the cable that came with the Q.

Thanks for the advice. I am guessing a cable such as this for a charger would also work for the meter. Yes?

I use the Turnigy LiPo - IR Meter. Very Accurate but (DISCONTINUED)
Turnigy LiPoly Battery IR Meter
My Charger Polaron EX 1400W 8S 3" Color and Touch TFT (Red) | RC Charger | Graupner USA has the ability to graph and show the IR during/after/testing of a battery.
