Isn’t the double probe set up just a redundancy to help assure minimum resistance ?
Don't think so in this case as readings are way out of whack if both probes don't make contact on both ends.
I think the with the dual probes one goes through a resistor or makes the battery draw power while the other maybe measures the resistance?
Ok , that makes sense .
Oh this is even tested from HKJ

Review Test/review of Vapcell Internal Resistance Tester YR1030
No, you need all four needles connected. It is called Kelvin measurement or 4 terminal sensing. It is good for measure low resistance.
Thanks for the education joechina.
(a bit off-topic) but I notice in the ZY1276 USB meter, there are 2 types of resistance measurement available, one is the “regular” and the other is called “4-wire Kelvin”. Unfortunately, there’s not much info/documentation on what items are required to do the 4-wire Kelvin measurement on the ZY1276 USB meter… Maybe need to construct a 4-wire USB cable or something?
Thank you ActiveAl! So, now I’m well prepared. 
Meanwhile my order has been released for shipping. It seems this big delay of 24 hours for payment verification is a usual procedure at AliExpress. It was something new to me as I never had such safety steps at Banggood or Gearbest. The seller also confirmed that he/she ships the new version of the SM8124A with the two-prong probes.
FlashTom, this is how it looks when I wear my reading glasses.
Wow…that’s supersharp! If I get as close as this to the object my visual field becomes hazy. Maybe I get back to you guys for some recommendations about reading glasses… :laughing:
Good idea for the eneloops. Have to try it on my liths and see how much it affects the numbers.
I recently recharged some of my eneloops from 1.24V to their cutoff voltage (1.55V) in my MiBoxer C4-12. According to the charger only 100-150mAh went into those cells. Recharging only took about 5-10min as voltage rose up instantaneously. Their iR was about 60mOhm. I assume these cells can be considered as worn out, right?
Sorry d_t_a,
I don’t know the device.
You should mail the manufacturer. He should know

I got some Protected NCR18650B's from Banggood today and they are all reading 60IR on my SM8124A tester. My other Protected NCR18650B's are all reading 48IR on my tester. Would the difference be because they are probably two different protection circuits and therefore showing different resistance numbers?
I'm assuming Banggood is using some cheapo no name circuit whereas my other NCR's are using genuine Seiko circuits.
Yep.
They are probably higher resistance FET on the Banggood cells.
Thanks! Any negatives you know of from the BG cells other than more resistance?
Hmmm no.
I actually have no protected cell, except for the one from my Imalent HR20.
I'm waiting nearly two months for my 30Q's from BG. They will be my first set of unprotected batteries.
Oh.
The customs must have seized your package.
They seize 4x18650s worth 25$CA, but not a phone with a pouch cell, much more dangerous, worth 250$CA.
