OK, obviously your West Mountain Radio CBA is a superior battery analyzer. But for us guys that want to know the answer to a simple question: "Are these weird batteries I [bought on Ebay] [yanked out of used power tools] [etc] OK?" This looks like a great tool.
Tests 18650's, and some other stuff.
$38 on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013HP4N70/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza, User's manual here http://www.accupower.at/media/accupower_manual_iq338.pdf The unit is a charger, but also has a capacity mode that will charge a battery, discharge it all the way, then charge it back up and report the capacity, either with a fast discharge or slow discharge. You get a number, not a nice graph that you'd get with a real CBA. But for a lot of us, a number is all we need.
I'm gonna get one of these, to test these weird batteries I bought on ebay. Wish me luck, and here's hoping I didn't get ripped off.
Anyone else tried this tester?
