Built a small test rig to check out a few different LiPo voltage checkers.

    Could anyone tell me where to get a connector lead to test a NiMH battery as this is never covered.

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Nikolaj C says:

    How about changing the tester to LiIon instead of LiPo????

    Hi Julian. Enjoyed your video on this battery checker. Did you end up using it with your bike battery? If so, it would be useful to see how you did that.

    you lifepo4 cells are flat at 2v?..maybe 2.5v….your checker alarm voltage only goes down to 2.7..im doing a bike too..looking for alarm bothe top and bottom voltage.lifepo4

    Can you charge a lifepo4 battery with a regular life battery or do you need a special charger just for lifepo4 ?

    Just a heads up, Julian, check what voltage your 4 way charger "thinks" 4.2 is mine thinks 4.3 is 4.2 and really over stresses my cells.

    If you buy a Venom Lipo battery charger it does everything you showed with out having to building a light bulb discharger!

    "Ce" is the two first characters of "cell".

    Why Li-ion battery is recognized as Lipo at 9.08min?

    Ya it seem like all those are backwards i have some with all the colors and black is the most positive and then one where it has one red one and the rest are black and the one red one is negative

    what do you think I can use to charge a 4S 50ah battery pack with solar? Thanks

    The Capacity Controller can also balance lifepo4 cells by draining the top voltage down to the lowest to keep them balanced. I believe you hold down Type

    the cell number is up at the top of the screen
