Looking for battery meter?

[Steven Vaccaro]

I'm looking for suggestions on a meter that displays the voltage of each cell in a lipo pack up to 6s. I'm going to use it to see whats left in the pack. There are a ton of them out there. Most seem sold out at hobby king or need calibrating with a high quality volt meter that I dont own. So anyone have any suggestions?

I got mine off ebay from a hong kong vendor for $4 and it works awesome...they are great for just picking up a lipo off your shelf and seeing ho much voltage is in it and seeing how balanced it is

I know Jim Williams has one he sells for $7

This little thing can even record voltage of each cell during discharge :-)

I've seen the one Jim Sells. I've read at several places that they are not accurate, but get close. I was looking for something a bit better.

Thats great, but I have two boys. I'm always fighting for getting to the charger.

This unit is a little on the expensive side, but it looks like something I would be interesed in. Does anyone have one of these?

Most of our club members have the Cellmeter8, and it is a great unit. Pricey yes, but very high quality and easy to use. I waited a year before I bought mine, wish I hadn't waited.

I could never keep track of what was charged and what was not. Since I got the cellmeter8 I have had no trouble with that.

The only thing I am not sure of is what the bottom graft means that is shown in the picture below.

its the balance of your cells,

I agree with Mieciu, best meter or logger. It can log the cells running in the boat, ever wonder how that pack really is??

It is, Thanks I was hoping it was the internal resistance. Shucks

here you go for the cell meter 8

I use this one from Hi Model. I checked it with a voltmeter & it's within 1 or 2 100ths of a volt. A good little unit for checking packs after a run at the lakeside.
