Does this charger have the ability to measure and display internal resistance of individual battery cells?Thanks

No, but here is an article on Flite Test how you could. http://flitetest.com/articles/LiPo_Battery_Internal_Resistance_Testing

No, it only tests the battery, but it is the most accurate tester to detect bad cell

I have never measured the current charge rate with an amp meter. Each battery in the charger has it's own microprocessor which controls the rate of charge to that battery. My charger works great.

On the display, the meter shows the battery, with the amount of charge left on it. But it does not give a precise number. You have to estimate it from the simple diagram.

Yes, it works in the canon charger and displays the battery information on the camera.

It wont check resistance but it will tell how many volts are going through the coil a multi meter would give you the resistance.

Yes, I am busy using it to indicate the charge coming from a bank of solar panels. I am going up to a max of 42A (using the 200A shunt) - it does not seem to give a reading at low currents e.g. 1A but once it goes over this it is pretty accurate. I am using the battery that I am charging as the supply and it works fine.

Because the current is constant anywhere within the "loop", you can measure amps anywhere in the line. However, voltage "drops" across various components throughout this loop. If you want to measure the performance of your battery (common), place this item close to the battery between the charging source and the battery to be most accurate.

This specific charge controller doesn't have an LCD screen to read the charging current or battery voltage. Our Viewstar charge controller does provide that feature for you though.

Yes there is a battery level indicator, but I can say how accurate it is at monitoring the actual voltage. Lead Acid batteries do not like to be deeply discharged like Ni-Cads, so you must keep them charged regularly.

No this product is only for monitoring battery performance and drains. It can tell you if your battery is running down and if you have parasitic drains that require attendance. But it does not charge your battery. I hope this helps!

It has a battery gauge on the display and you can perform a self-test on it. I assume it would tell you after the self-test that it doesn't have the expected capacity.

Hello Glenn, I haven't used mine since last summer but as I recall it checks the individual cells and because of that I am pretty sure that you will need one for each battery.

This charger has a voltage readout so you can observe that it doesn't maintain a constant (float) voltage. It seems to let the battery drop to a predetermined level and than recharge (energy conservation?).

For the cells? I measured them at 4.2V when fully charged by the internal charger.

As far as I know, no. To test the charge, it is executed a discharge/charge cicle. It would be possible to test the volts of the battery, wich is reliable mesasure for non-rechargeable batteries, but I presume it would be dangerous.

We generally just use multimeters and/or Hydrometers to check batteries, I don't think this has that capability. It's great for charging though.
