Here's one method. http://www.evdl.org/archive/index.html#nabble-td4657626|a4657642 Just to be clear, he means you should measure voltage drop across the intercell link cable or strap, NOT across the cell or battery itself! I usually measure the voltage drop from the center of the battery post to the clamp itself. That's easy with lead batteries - there's lots of post area for contact. I don't know whether that's the case with your lithium cells. But the principle remains - pass a known current through the connection and measure the voltage drop. Calculate the resistance (if you care) with Ohm's law. Or just look for connections with exceptionally high voltage drop.
