IFLYRC 5-in-1 Cell Meter has 5 main functions: capacity checker, battery balancer, battery discharger, battery internal resistance tester, and ESC/Servo PPM tester.
Battery Capacity Checker
IFLYRC 5-in-1 Cell Meter can display the estimated capacity and voltage for LiPo / LiFePO4 / Li-ion / NiCd / NiMH battery packs. Use this function to quickly check if your battery requires charging before use. For LiPo/LiFePO4/Li-ion packs, it can also display the voltage of each cell, so you know when they need to be balanced.
Battery Balancer:
Optimize your battery’s performance, and extend the overall lifespan, by ensuring the individual cells are balanced.
Battery Discharger:
Discharging your battery prior to changing can improve the runtime of your battery. Tenergy 5-in-1 Cell Meter can discharge lithium-based battery packs to an adjustable threshold, at the discharge rate of 180mA.
Battery Internal Resistance Tester:
For lithium-based battery packs, this cell meter can display the internal resistance of each individual cell, so you can evaluate the health of your battery pack and decide when to discard or replace it.
ESC/SERVO PPM Tester:
Supply a reliable PPM signal to test and adjust your servo motors.
*Note: A Y-harness and 4.8V-6V NiMH battery (not included) is needed to support ESC/Servo function.
Package includes
1 x 5-in-1 Intelligent Cell Meter Digital Battery Checker Battery Balancer
1 x User manual
WARNING
To avoid overheating, the discharge function can only be used for less than 6 minutes each time. After that, let the unit cool down to room temperature before discharging again.
DO NOT leave your battery discharging with this device unattended.
NOTE:
IFLYRC 5-in1 Cell Meter uses the test battery as a power source (does not require outlet adapter).
Li-ion/LiPo/LiFePO4 hobby battery packs NEED a balance connector in order to be tested.
NiMH/NiCd battery packs NEED a Hitech/Futaba connector, or an adapter, in order to be tested.
Li-ion/LiPo/LiFePO4 battery packs without a balance connector CAN NOT be tested.

An excellent tool to diagnose your batteries condition.Just plug the battery balance connector to the meter with the black wire in the top pin. It allows you to view each cell’s voltage and capacity as well as the internal resistance (IR) of each cell. The IR reduces the flow of current to the motor; the higher the number the less the power available. This is critical for helicopter and quad copters as a sag in power can cause a crash. There are different opinions on how high IR can be before replacing a battery but the general consensus is when total IR of all cells exceeds 20 or so, it time to order new batteries. The instructions aren’t that great so go to YouTube to see how to use it.
