The F.A.Q. for Tenergy Intelligent Capacity Discharger Resistance (01444)

I bought the tenergy for measuring cell resistance. I mostly use it for the small batteries used for various micro flyers. I found very little information on the internet so i did measurements on the last batch i bought. I bought eflite, lectron pro, & nanoforce 1s lipos between 80 and 500 mah. New, they all measure between 29 and 39 mohms per cell. . I also checked some old 1s micro batteries which are no longer adequate for flying and they were between 150 and 350 mohms per cell. If you want to measure 1s cells using the tenergy 5-in-1 you will need to make a small adapter and measure them in pairs. The on-line data sheet says it will measure 1s; however, the instructions that come with it says 2-7 cells. I tested it and it does need 2 cells minimum. . New full size lipos are generally between 2 and 4 mohms per cell.

A number of questions have been asked here.

Q&A

(0) Question: I cant figure out how to use the balancing feature. can anyone help?

(1) Question: Will this check the voltage of the 1s 3. 7v 180mah 45c li-po batteries that my blade nano uses, without needing any adapter wires or plugs?

(2) Question: How does one connect a lipo battery to this? has no connection instructions and pins are numbered only.

(3) Question: Does it include deans connection plugs

(4) Question: What type of plug do you need to plug into the nimh socket on this device? the plug on mytenergy 8. 4v 1600 mah battery is too big.

(5) Question: Will this discharge nimh packs? (cycle them)

(6) Question: Does this have an alarm/buzzer?

(7) Question: How do you use this to check internal resistance of a lipo battery?

(note) Question: where/how to get Tenergy (manufacturer's brand) accessories & similiar Tenergy's products

This really comes in handy . I'm new to batteries and this 5 in 1 really help me out . If you are experienced or new to batteries this great product works great

I took a chance on this checker/balancer because of the features. It does everything i need including balancing lipo cells. With the digital readout, i know exactly what each cell is doing. It seems much more accurate than my astro blinky which discharges the individual cells too much in order to balance them. Instructions could be better; some of the functions are trial and error to figure out how to use properly. A great, must have tool for lipos and charging. I'll be ordering a second one soon!

I originally purchased this meter to provide a quick and easy way to fully discharge batteries at the end of their life before disposing of them. Turns out i now use it regularly for balancing cells after charging. Some battery chargers are much better than others when it comes to completing their charging cycle with each battery cell charged to the exact same level. The syma x8c charger isn't very good at this, as it does great up to a level and then shuts down the charging of one cell before the other. If i catch it in time, it's fine, but if i let it go until the little charge light goes out, one cell is charged more than the other. So before use, i attach this meter, turn on the balancing function, and 20 minutes later the cells are within 0. 01 volts of each other. . The only reason for the 4-star rating and not 5 is that it won't work on single cell batteries (like the syma x5 battery and others). The item description may have said this, but i missed it. So, i use one of my $4 tiny volt meters (with voltage level alarm) for checking charge levels on these batteries, and for discharging old single-cell batteries i made up a little light bulb load. Not sure why this meter doesn't have the ability to work with a single cell, but it doesn't.

Documentation is very sparse but it really handy for lipo batteries.

X. Susan, New Hampshire

Works great checked it against my charger and multimeter and it was perfect.

D. Linda, Idaho says

Use it everytime i charge a lipo, the manual sucks and i cant figure out how to get the balance portion to function correctly (after i tried adjusting it). If you leave it alone and let it work, it works fine. Good product for the price

C. Lorenz, Wisconsin

Super handy. This is a must buy for lipo users. I can really quickly test to see if i am discharging my lipo's to similar levels so i can parallel charge without having to discharge certain batteries first to get them within similar voltages. After a flight i just plug in the balance lead to see if i need to take it up for another quick lap. Percentages are estimates, but close enough for my purposes. I keep this is the bag of batteries i go into the field with.

The meter is priced well and for a piece of test equipment in this price range, it performs well enough. It has some minor issues when you read the instruction manual closely. 1s lipo batteries must be plugged into the nicad port to read. It also states that the capacity meter is not accurate on nicad or nimh batteries and should not be relied upon. For the price, it does what it says and does it well. Reading the instruction sheet closely will reveal a few hidden menus that you should be aware of to get the most out of this meter. For anyone who is into electrics and spends time in the field, this is a good addition to the toolbox.

B. Anonymous, Northumberland

This unit works very well for my lipo batteries. Checks all the cells with just one button.

K. Cunningham, Bremen says

Excellent cell meter!

F. Olga, Hillingdon

Great product. Easy to use. Works great centering servos.

P. Dorothy, Herefordshire says

Does a good job at measuring battery voltage.

S. Moore, Poitou-Charentes

Great battery meter for the field and at home.
