I don't know if 1080p is necessary for this review, but ok it's well done =) Would have been interesting if the shown voltages are equal to a multimeter-measurement. I have the same checker and it drifts about 0,03 to 0,06 V per cell. So this little piece is good to check if the lipo you want to fly with is full. But it's not good to see if your battery is well balanced after charging.

@SammYLightfooD yes, that is what I stated in the end of the review. But thanks for the comment.

had the HK one. Voltage was good but AMPs totally useless.

[RedDevilSquadron]

@garagecrap you can't read amps unless you are discharging. Amps won't tell you anything about the battery level.

that is a balancer???

[RedDevilSquadron]

no. It is used to check if your batteries are charged.

Your vid is a favorite on Saudi Arabia

Me and a friend both have this meter. It works well for both 3S and 6S lipos but it has problems with the total voltage on 6S ones. Right now it's showing about 4.2V for each cell but 20.9V for the total instead of 25.2V. We think the total is probably higher than the chip has memory to handle. That's just a guess though.
