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.
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. :)
1) Balances the cell by moving the power from higher voltage cell to lower voltage cells (not draining the current).
2) Balancing function easily reached.
3) Easy to read display. Turns blue when done balancing.
4) Dependable, can leave on over night and weeks consumes very little power.
5) User friendly, will boot up automatically and fast from unplugging and plugging.
Strike: - Doesn't measure battery internal resistance.
Bought one unit, worked so well that bought another. Will buy 3rd one soon.
This is a classic case of a Lithium-Ion/Polymer battery balancer that is advertising itself as "compatible" with NiMH/NiCd etc batteries because it can read voltages and other battery chemistries also have voltages it can read. But the core feature of this battery balancer, e.g., balancing batteries, is not a thing it can do with NiMH/NiCd chemistries. The balancer has a MINIMUM voltage per cell of more than 2 volts, so the 1.2 volt cells of a NiMH battery will cause the balancer to enter a warning mode where all it will do is tell you that the voltage is too low. In fact, there is no NiMH option selectable at all in the device menu when using the balance lead header to connect a battery.
It's also worth mentioning that this device does not come with *ANY* cables or adapters, and does not have an internal power supply, so you MUST connect it to a battery using a battery lead plug that matches one of the sockets available on the device for it to power on and be used.

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.

One problem doesn't balance the batteries.
