Multi-Purpose Battery Meter
The Tenergy 5-in-1 cell meter measures voltages for LiPo, LiFePO4, Li-ion, NiCd and NiMH packs from two to seven cells. It powers itself from the battery under test so no external supply is needed. Hobbyists and technicians use it to verify pack health before charging or flying. The unit only activates once a compatible balance or Hitech/Futaba connector is attached.
Five Integrated Functions
Capacity checking, internal resistance reading, cell balancing, controlled discharging and ESC or servo signal testing are combined in one hand-held tool. The discharge circuit runs at 180mA and must be limited to six minutes per session with a cool-down period. Balancing equalises individual cells to extend usable runtime. The PPM tester confirms receiver and speed-controller signals on the bench.
Connector-Dependent Operation
Lithium packs require a balance lead; NiMH or NiCd packs need a Hitech or Futaba plug or a suitable adapter. Packs without these connectors cannot be tested at all. The clamp-style housing is battery-powered and has no mains inlet, so it is restricted to field or bench use where the pack itself provides energy. Build quality is functional for portable checking rather than permanent installation.

Questions about this item
How often will the internal resistance checker need recalibration?
The meter has no user calibration procedure; internal resistance is displayed directly from each cell during testing.
What stops a long discharge session first?
The discharge function must be limited to less than 6 minutes at 180 mA before the unit cools to room temperature.
How hot does the balancer get during all-day use?
The device only draws power from the pack under test and must cool to room temperature after each 6-minute discharge cycle.
