ISDT Battery Checker ICC2010 Air Field Equip & Electronics

Been using this checker the last 3yrs and no problems. Works great and easy to navigate and use. Probably the best cell checker IMO. Build quality is good. Worth it IMO

I like this meter and use it every time before I go flying to check the voltages of battery packs to match them for parallel charging, and while flying to check how much juice is left after coming down. Works very well for cells from 2S to 8S. 1S works in principle, but you will likely need an adapter to plug your battery into the balance port AND another 2S+ battery to supply power to the unit then. For 2+S packs usage is super simple, just plug the balancing lead into the device and you will get cell voltages displayed almost instantly, very convenient, no need to bother with the XT-60 connector in this case. It can also balance cells and act as an USB power source for e.g. charging your cell phone. I have rarely used the balancing feature, as I always balance charge before flying and a healthy LiPo pack shouldn't be unbalanced after discharging it to 3.8 - 3.75 V (per cell resting) or so anyway. The display is easy to read inside and outside and the user interface is good via three buttons. But again, for its main function of checking cell voltages you won't have to press any of those. I think it is expensive for what it is, but if I lost this one I would get a new one, it's that convenient.

In the field you really only need to get a general reading of your cells. Showing you all cells at once is the only option for me and this does that. As for accuracy it is good enough for the field, and to balance the cells in the pack I would say it does a great job. When checked with a Fluke meter the accuracy is at +/- 0.01 or better, but typically consistent across all the cells. Love the color screen which is easy to see in bright daylight. Also nice option to be able to charge USB devices such as the DJI Goggles battery. When balancing cells it is consistent across the cells and does not get hot, although this does only discharge cells down to the lowest one so it works fine for storage mode, but probably not designed for evening out at 4.195 - 4.20 volts before using. It'll just waste energy you could use for your application.

This meter is great for getting a quick reading of the battery or even balancing a small pack, but it is not precise within 10mv as even after calibration, the values will drift over time and even based on ambient temperature. It is perfectly fine for hobby packs but not if you need to check within 5-10mv of precision. The heat it generates from balancing actually throws off the readings more despite repeated calibration. The display however is very will Iit and easy to read.

Pretty happy with the checker so far. I bought a couple of the cheap LED display ones, and decided it was time to upgrade. One of the best parts is that this reads up to the thousandth unit. Interesting enough the new ISD go program will not recognize the checker on a mac, will need windows to update firmware in the future. It looks like as of this time it ships with the most recent firmware installed. Also unlike their chargers you will have to supply alternative power to power the device for firmware updates (does not power on with the micro usb). I did find this was out of calibration in different directions on the different cells. Up to 0.04v using a fluke meter. The display is bright and with it calibrated quite informational. If you forget to charge your goggle batteries or camera or anything you can plug in one of your charged flight packs to use this as a USB charger which comes in surprisingly handy.

still working after years

We use 4 of these testers and they've all been very accurate, fast, and they are able to balance batteries *that are able to be balanced*. If your battery is shot or has a bad cell that can't go beyond X volts, this is no fault of the balancer. You have a bad battery. This little piece of hardware makes it quick and easy to check maximum cell variance in mV, overall charge percentage, and individual cell voltages as the first thing to display on the screen. We work with thousands of batteries, and these cell testers are great, and display the same information our expensive chargers do. The guy in the reviews with the Fluke doesn't know what he's doing, and it's easy to tell by his reported issues. You can buy an expensive name brand piece of equipment, but owning gucci gear won't make you an expert overnight, unfortunately. :)

I have mixed feelings about this meter. Nothing awful. I've been into modeling for over 30 years and I am experienced and know what I'm doing and saying. I am critical of things because we as consumers should get what we pay for. I'm picky and don't let anything slide as no big deal and so I will mention the most important things (I feel) to help others who may be. First the good - It's very well made and sturdy. Screen is great and it always feels nice and compact and easy to read. Love all the features and values it can show you about your battery. The dislikes are that the screen is SUPER EASY to scratch. The screen protector makes the screen unclear when applied hence kicked it aside. I tried to polish it and it's impossible even with the finest plastic polish. Wipe it with any rag or cloth no matter how soft it is will cause fine lines. You have been warned. The other thing is the cell accuracy per voltage. It didn't come factory accurate according to my Fluke 87 which is a $400.00 digital hi-res meter. It was not crazy off but not as perfect as I like. It's great that it has an adjustment to calibrate the cell voltage, even the total voltage of the pack and percentage. That's great and it's what I had to do to make this a keeper. Once you get the cell calibration perfect then the balancer function balances the cells perfectly. I love that feature and on a 2200mah it's pretty quick considering the cells were healthy and only .1v off. I have not used the other features so please read other reviews to get info on that. Hope that helps.

Works great, must have in your RC toolbox. Very compact too. Dirt cheap for what it can do. Not sure how accurate it is, I guess we would need to compare it or use calibrated equipment to verify it but the batteries I use seem happy with it, they seem properly balanced, I double checked with another device and get the same per cell readings.

Use with up to 8 cell lipos, gives voltage for each cell and total, plus percentage of power available. Also can balance all cells to lowest. Highly recommended item and seller.

Jai essayé d'autre modele pour équilibrer la charge de mes batterie. Mais sa ne fonctionnait pas. Mais jai trouvé se produit et la wow. Sa fonctionne. Je recommande

It's a pretty great little battery tool, great for checking batteries, and for using your lipos as a battery bank if your phone is running low. That said, it DOES NOT SUPPORT BATTGO AT ALL. They pushed one feature SUPER hard, and then removed it entirely. They don't mention that anywhere at all until you've already opened the package. If BattGo support is somehow important to you, you're going to have to look elsewhere.

Product shipped as describe good quality. One problem doesn't balance the batteries.
