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

It worked great up until i hooked up a 10s battery pack as a 1s and fried it. True story.

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

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

If you charge a lot of batteries at the same time this is a must because you need to know where your batters are at. This will tell you. Every thing! if you use the charger you get with what ever you buy you still need to use this! . The reason is your battery will last a lot longer. Some people with chargers with charge there battery with half a charge. And that is not good for your battery. All batteries that are new will tell you about charging there battery to last the life. They were made to last. So in closing this will make your battery last the way in was made for. Thank you. . P. S. You tube will tell you everything even things i don't know so before buying check out a video

Good and inexpensive balancer/cell meter with a nice screen. This is sold for more under different brand names from other places. (the same unit) not super intuitive but the instructions are pretty simple. It balances and reports on lipos. In the lower right hand corner it shows the percentage of charge you have which is nice. It can take a long time but i think that is just the nature of balancing. I tested it on a 2s lipo and 3s. Balancing is pretty easy, just make sure you have the right type of battery selected (for example, make sure it detects lipo 3s) then hold down cell for a second, it will say "bal", then press cell again and it will begin balancing. Once it is really close, it will make a short beep. I find it best to start balancing as soon as you are done using it and then during charging. (balancing after it is charged isn't as good from what i have read). . I cannot figure out how to use the discharge feature to get it to 3. 8v per cell for storage. I would like to use this feature though. . The nimh functionality is just to show voltage. (like a voltmeter would) you would need some kind of special adapters for this. (a cable that goes from whatever your battery connection is down to the little white plug that this takes) i don't see the point. I have a $10 volt meter for that. I can't think of a good reason to want to monitor a nimh batter anyway, other than voltage. It doesn't come with the cable that you would need to check nimh batteries but i doubt it is worth pursuing it. For lipo batteries however, this is a very useful device.

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.

Does a good job at measuring battery voltage.

S. Moore, Poitou-Charentes

Great battery meter for the field and at home.

K. Cunningham, Bremen says

Excellent cell meter!

H. Palmer, Bath and North East Somerset

Must have to test, work well and easy to use.

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. Mable, California

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

P. Carolyn, Salford says

I've been looking for a way to test my lipo batteries since i don't readily speak "battery". As much as i fly / use lipo batteries i should understand the nuances of volts, milliamps, cell chemistry, etc - this think makes it simple to understand. I know that expressing remaining battery life as a percentage isn't always accurate but companies like dji have figured out that a close approximation, expressed in %, is what people need to see (people like me). Hard core battery types will think i'm oversimplifying the accuracy of this but so far this is the absolute best device i've seen to date. Works great and has proven to be very, very accurate. Shows percentage for each cell as well as the average for all.

Y. Nicole, Delaware

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