Battery resistance checker?

I'd like to start flying again but I'm conscious of the fact my lipos have been sat for a good long while ... I was wondering if anyone knew of a cheap way to check their internal resistance to see if any are salvageable? I'd rather not wait until I'm up in the air to find out.

Hi Steve,
               Most Lipo chargers will tell you individual cell resistance during the charging cycle. My ISDT one does and even my very old Turnigy ACCUCELL 6 does too.
  I think you have to be charging cells in order to measure their resistance...
