Review on Tenergy 5-in-1 Battery Meter: Intelligent Cell Meter Digital Battery πŸ”‹ Checker & Balancer for LiPo, LiFePO4, Li-ion, NiCd, NiMH Battery Packs by James Morrow

Does what it says in electrical document

Works great. Cheap, easy to use. Can be used as an on-board counter if desired. The discharge is slow, the IR meter isn't very accurate, but it's accurate enough to tell if the lipo is bad. Only balances cells in the 010 ohm range, if the cells are below this the meter will not balance them until they exceed a constant 010 ohm reading but the IR digital display will jump between 001 and 003 ohms for milliseconds back and forth which causes the balancer showing the wrong ohm value therefore cannot correct if the button is pressed at the precise moment of oscillation. Small issue I know, but I'm thorough and this is a review. Generally just buy the generic version, it's the same device with no branding. I'm pretty sure they are made in the same factory as any other generic budget electronic device. They sell for $6. If you want quality, spend a little more for a closer look, but there's no reason to pay double the price for a name printed on a cheap machine.

Pros
  • ECS/Servo PPM Tester - The servo tester provides a reliable PPM signal for testing and adjusting servo motors.
Cons
  • Good but not great
