I've been doing a lot of reading wrt battery cell testing, but have only
seen one (affordable, reasonably priced) recommendation for testing
rechargeable cell ESR.. the Bob Parker ESR Meter.

** As you can see form the attribution - that article is one of mine.
Bob's ESR meter will not be much use for high capacity cells that have only
a few milliohms of ESR - as the lowest reading on the display is 10mohm
However, a pack of 4 or more cells would likely be testable and reveal poor
connections of the existence of a bad cell.
