  Output impedance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The output impedance, source impedance, or internal impedance of an electronic device is the opposition exhibited by its output terminals to the flow of an alternating current (AC) of a particular frequency as a result of resistance, inductance and capacitance.
The impedance at DC (frequency of 0) is the same as the resistance component of the impedance and is termed output resistance.
Internal resistance is a concept that helps us model the complex chemical reactions that occur inside a battery.

Another surprise is that the dynamic resistance remain pretty constant on the 1C to 6C range.
My guess is that the reason for the higher apparent resistance, shown as the slope of your plots, at the 1 minute time versus the 10 minute time is due to a measurement timing issue.
Your test approach is valid and can be a much better predictor of sustained-load cell voltage than AC impedance is. However, the effective internal resistance numbers generated by this type of measurement method are significantly dependent on the test parameters, especially voltage measurement points, load level durations, and temperature effects.

 Battery construction : BATTERIES AND POWER SYSTEMS
The chemical reaction inside the cell may still be providing exactly 10 volts, but voltage is dropped across that internal resistance as electrons flow through the battery, which reduces the amount of voltage available at the battery terminals to the load.
Typically, batteries are placed in applications where their internal resistance is negligible compared to that of the circuit load (where their short-circuit current far exceeds their usual load current), and so the performance is very close to that of an ideal voltage source.
The equivalent internal resistance of this battery of 5 cells is 1/5 that of each individual cell.

 Power and Internal Resistance
Power transfer between a voltage source and an external load is at its most efficient when the resistance of the load matches the internal resistance of the voltage source.
If the load resistance is too low then most of the power output of the voltage source is dissipated as heat inside the source itself.
If the load resistance is too high then the current which flows in the circuit is too low to transfer energy to the load at an appreciable rate.

 Batteries
Lead acid cells have very low internal resistance, which makes them well-suited for use as a car battery, because very high current can be drawn from the cells to operate the car's starter motor.
Alkaline cells have higher internal resistance than nickel-cadmium cells; therefore a flash unit takes longer to recycle when alkaline cells are used.
Cells with low internal resistance (in particular, lead acid and nickel cadmium cells) can be dangerous to work with, because extremely large currents can flow if the cell is shorted externally, since the internal resistance is so low.

 Greek Resistance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Greek Resistance is the blanket term for a number of armed and unarmed groups from across the political spectrum that resisted the Axis Occupation of Greece during World War II.
