Accurate affordable RI meter for low impedance cells?

For those of us that are electronically and mathematically challenged, some clarification please. I've been quietly reading and fumbling along with this thread. Still not sure how I would set myself up to do this correctly.

What would you use as a load to get a 20-30 amp current draw? Someone mentioned a precision resistor with 00 gauge wire, would this be the load? If so what value precision resistor would you use as load to get 20 or 30 amps?

I would like to play around with this but I'm still muddy with how to set it up. For example, If I had a A123 2.3ah cell, what value precision resistor would you use? What if you had a A123 20ah battery what values would you use?

I have a decent DMM. If that along with a resistor is all I need, then this would be easy to troubleshoot my own batteries.

This one costs 30U$ and is pretty constant on values, but see no way to check how accurate it is.

That's why I like to the idea of using a resistor and a Multimeter. I don't have to buy another piece of gear and I can rely on the readings I take with my Multimeter.

I want see how you measure IR under 1kHz frequency with resistor. :)

Edit: It is stated 5% accurate. If it is truth, it is enough for me.
