Default how to tell if your lipo is dead or flat

how do you tell? do you measure the resistance or just feel of the motor? Reason I am asking is I have a G6 4300 65C Thunderpower that feels flat and is only about 10 runs old and always balanced and properly stored.

I did a test just to see and fully charged it is reading 8 ohms resistance 5 on 1 and 3 on the other. Now to confirm I tested my other 4300 40C and it is reading a total of 4ohms 2 and 2 and this battery feels much better and is actually older.

So at what point do the batterys become to much resistance, I am using them in a SCR with a 17.5 blinky mode.
