BATTERY CHECKER

BATTERY CHECKER

The i-Meter allows you to check the individual cell voltages of a 2 cells-
8 cells Lithium battery. The i-Meter individually measures & diagnoses 
the cell voltages of the multiple cells, the result is displayed on the 
large liquid crystal screen. The i-Meter replaces all of the tedious 
measurement and calculations required in the past to determine the 
overall voltage of the LiPo, LiFe & LiIon pack and the individual cell 
voltages that determine the balance of the Lithium pack.

The i-Meter now makes it possible to determine and verify the detailed 
state of the Lithium battery.

A balanced battery provides a safer environment when flying. If you 
know that your cell balance is out you can address the issue.
The prevention of deteriorating cells over time, will improve the 
efficiency and stability of the Lithium battery.

When you connect the balance lead to the i-Meter you must ensure 
that both the Ground pin’s for the balance connector and the i-Meter 
go together. Different Balance leads have different wiring configurations 
and some are colored.

The i-Meter has 2.54mm pin intervals. If the connector on you battery 
does not fit do not force the connector, obtain a suitable adaptor lead 
from your hobby shop.
