Thanks for quick reply,

Sure, I realize that. I should have been more clear - I'd give each
battery about identical time under load, say 5-10 seconds and
capture readout whatever it is (while voltage slowly keep falling).

The key is to make conditions identical, I'm interested only
in differences. So is the method above any more beneficial
vs just OCV reading?

p.s. I'll have a couple hours, that's not my concern at this point...
