I ordered one.
My experience with Battery Medic's is that the Black ones are Junk and this one probably is too.
But, for $10, I thought I would try it.

It doesn't say anywhere in the listing that this can balance or discharge? so I would liken it to a cell-log rather than a battery medic. cell-logs are available in 8s for a similar cost so I don't see this as being better than anything that is already available?

I'd like to see a 14s cell log, combined with a wattmeter, that ran on up to 60v. One you could leave plugged in, but connected to your key switch to de power it.

I have one of those. It read perfect voltage when new, after I dropped it a few times it is off by about .2v on most cells. I have now stepped on it and broke off one of the buttons, still works It will not balance or discharge though
