What is considered a high number for IR of a lipo battery? A 2S 5000mah reedy pack to be specific/

Caveat, from what I’ve seen and read the measurements frequently vary a lot from device to device. Significantly temperature dependent, somewhat by charge state, etc. Probably need to get a device and keep records from new to really know.

Using a Hyp Duo3, name brand 45 to 50C 2S packs, I’m seeing 8 to 11 mOhms when new, dropping down to around 5 to 6 after many cycles (I strive to follow best care and storage rules).

Some older 25C packs (that I frequently stored fully charged) measure 20 to 40 mOhms. They are way noticeably different in power. (And run time)

Only individual cell values are useful and need to be taken at a reference temperature

Use the following formula

12000 divided by size of cell in mah

Example
12000 / 5000mah = 2.4

Anything under 2.4 milliohms is a very good cell

Overall pack values will include connectors and wires which can vary a lot

A fella over at RCgroups sells a great device for measuring both cell and pack IR

Cheers
