2.4 inch color screen with curve display 8-channel 18650 battery capacity tester

Content

Safety Instructions (Very Important!!!)

  1. Must use a sufficient power DC5V/10A power supply, otherwise insufficient power supply may cause the equipment to not operate normally.
  1. The 18650 battery holder is only suitable for testing flat-top 18650 batteries and is not suitable for testing pointed-top 18650 or other specifications of batteries. Before use, the spring clip can be adjusted for tightness with needle-nose pliers.
  1. This device is not suitable for charging lithium iron phosphate batteries. Testing of lithium iron phosphate batteries can only operate in discharge mode, and charging, automatic, and activation modes are prohibited.
  1. Batteries that are damaged or leaking are prohibited from being powered on for testing.
  1. The activation mode is a forced charging mode. Non-professionals should not use it, and personnel must not leave the site during use.
  1. The charging and discharging process generates heat, please keep away from flammable materials during use!

Channel type: 8 independent channels, unrelated and do not affect each other

Channel synchronization: supports 8-channel setting synchronization, and can also set parameters for each channel individually.

Introduction to Work Mode:

①Automatic mode: The program starts ~ charging stops at 4.2V charging stop voltage, charging current is less than stop current for 30 seconds, first charging is completed ~ resting (no charging or discharging) ~ discharging according to the stop voltage setting, load voltage is lower than stop voltage for 10 seconds, discharging is completed ~ resting (no charging or discharging) ~ charging with the recharge voltage as the stop voltage, when the recharge voltage is set to 4.2V, charging current is less than stop current for 30 seconds, program ends (when the recharge voltage is not equal to 4.2V, the battery voltage reaches the recharge voltage, program ends), recharge is completed, program ends, automatic mode operation is completed.

②Charging mode: When the program starts ~ the charging voltage is set to 4.2V, and the charging current is less than the stop current for 30 seconds, the program ends (when the charging voltage is not equal to 4.2V, the program ends when the battery voltage reaches the charging voltage) ~ Charging completed.

③ Discharge mode: Program starts ~ Load voltage is lower than stop voltage for 10 seconds, program ends ~ Discharge completed

④ Activation mode: For professional use only, during use, testers must not leave the site! Forced charging at the stop voltage, will not stop automatically, needs to be manually ended.

(Charging) End current: adjustable at 100mA, 200mA, 300mA

Discharge current: Each channel independently has a maximum of about 1A non-constant current discharge, and the discharge current is not adjustable.

(Discharge) Stop Voltage: 2.0V, 2.1V, 2.2V, 2.3V, 2.4V, 2.5V, 2.6V, 2.7V, 2.8V, 2.9V, 3.0V, 3.1V, 3.2V, 3.3V, 3.4V, 3.5V, 3.6V a total of 17 adjustable levels.

Rest time: adjustable from 1 to 5 minutes.

8 Channel Status Preview: Supports 8 Channel Status 1 Screen Preview

Single channel details display: support

Single-channel charge and discharge curve display: Supported

Internal resistance testing: DC two-wire method for measuring internal resistance, only used for sorting and comparison of the same batch.

Cooling method: Active cooling

Overheat protection: Supported

Cycle charging and discharging: In automatic mode, only one cycle of charge-discharge-charge is supported, and multiple cycles are not supported.

External testing: Supported, can discharge externally through 2P terminals, only one of the battery holder or external testing can be supported for a single channel at a time, and the battery holder and external battery cannot be used for testing simultaneously.

Reverse connection protection: There is reverse connection protection, reverse connection of the battery is prohibited.
