Yes, I'm monitoring temp and other variables.

The IR is going to vary depending on which equipment you use. There doesn't seem to be consistent standard among manufacturers yet (or at least I haven't come across it). For instance, if I use my Orion to discharge the batteries, I get an IR of around 5 to 10 mO for each battery. It doesn't seem to read a large enough difference from battery to battery. I also found it to be inconsistent for the same battery. It could read 5 one day and 10 another day for the same exact battery, temperature, charge rate, etc. Whereas when I use my old Duratrax ICE, it gives me consistent IR readings. So I'm using that so that the readings can be all relative to that particular discharger.
