Best thermal cameras for Lithium battery repairs in 2023

[velobici]

Well, I know that this isn't an Ebike, but thermal cameras are essential tools for repairing our batteries and on the internet it is overwhelming the amount of models and the different needs of those searching for such cameras.
I'd really like to get feedback of some of you regarding which thermal cameras you find the best for checking the temperatures of lithium cells.
I think an important criteria is seeing the exact temperature of the cells on the display and I don't think all of them offer it...

Thanks for your feedback!!!

I got the best, one and only, tool you might need for this.

Spending on a FLIR is pointless if you are not a heat engineer.. The cheapo ones are like such horrible resolution, .. any under 1000$ is not gonna have high res... so.. Might as well get a great multi meter in the same deal. At the same time. In one machine. that records, dataloggs, has a 40,000 count on a 600mV DC 1/2% resolution.

19,200 pixel. Measures up to 1000v, and, 3000A. Probably cheaper than the camera-only FLir ( a decent FLIR i7 model is still like 2900$) ( and lower resolution)( and cannot do multimeter functions... Lol... ).... Mine cost 1200$ all in with teh rechargable batteries, the flex amp clamp, and about 50 different leads that live in its case.

The venerable DM285.
