This is the third video I've watched about these things and nobody knows or is willing to say exactly how they work because the instructions are rubbish and everyone does a quick review before they know how to use it. I charged my 4s LiFePo4 battery, got the meter into LiFePo4 mode and applied load. I'm measuring load over time to determine the batteries capacity. Soon this thing is sounding an alarm. But why? What does the tweedle sound alarm mean? All cell voltages are highlighted in red, but are within nominal cell voltage limits. (3.298, 3.305, 3.302, 3.308) 13.2V for the 4s pack. Why is it sounding an alarm, and what is it trying to say is wrong? Why is there no useful instructions and why are ALL the reviews superficial and devoid of any useful information a person would need to know when actually operating a battery using this monitor?
Accuracy is + or – 5 mW, meaning each cell reading may be off by 5mW. 5mW is the ACCURACY, not the resolution.
shame battgo hasnt taken off. would be good if they sold the pcb that you could add to a pack (retrofit).
trying to find any battgo stuff is proving hard
Auto storage on battgo batteries is just a ripoff of the function on DJI batteries. When you charge your drone batteries for a DJI product, and then decide not to fly before the auto storage mode kicks in (set on the IOS/android device used to see the camera of the drone), they bleed themselves down using some smarts and a resistor. They get sligtly warm, but nothing alarming 🙂
Hi, Why does your Battgo not show information about battery type and load percentage?
what is the balance currant on this device ? keep up the good work.regards
Can you turn off the auto screen off function or is it set to turn off after 2 minutes with no settings to disable that?
can i series 3 of them for a 20s battery?
do you know if there is a way to check the voltage on a tiny whoop sized battery? It says it will do 1s but idk how to make it read out the voltage. I have connected a separate battery to the XT-60 to give it at least 5V but when I connect the tiny whoop 1s battery via a JST like shown in the pictures of the product I get no voltage shown in cell #1. Any ideas?
Nice device…but nobody has any Smart Batteries..?
Accuracy is not resolution, mate. It may show 1mV steps but it can be 5mV off from the actual voltage._
Hi Julian and all, long time watcher , first time commenter,
i think with regards to the 5mv accuracy you mention the Chinglish translation is more that he resolution of the device is 1mv (as shown) but with an +or- accuracy of the 5mv it states.
Side note, i do a lot of lead acid charging mostly 7ah, 17ah and 40ah all @12v,
can you recommend the correct type of diode i could use, thanks in advance
Banggood isn't cheap anymore.
That is Quite a good bit of kit thanks Julian.
do they sell a board that can be attached to any battery pack. like a cell protection or BMS. with temp and other capabilities. to work with the batgo device? that would be a nice next step. if they do not!
"breath light" ? didn't this used to be known as " heartbeat" ?
