"Discharge Test" mode is the quick way to determine the mah of the cell(s). It simply charges the battery from dead or from any point till it's at its max capacity, and then discharges all the way and charges again to calculate and show the mah value.
To show a more accurate mah value use...
What is a decent inexpensive quality meter that allows for good accurate voltage and current measurements. Preferably one that I can hook up to a computer and do charting.
Also what do you guys think of the Turnigy Accucel-6 50W 6A Balancer/Charger?

A single Li-ion cell is...
Meaning while it's pulsing you think that there is only a current while it pauses at a specific volt? Wouldn't that make it not CC? It doesn't make sense why if while off the charger the multimeter reads 3.85v, on charger it jumps so high and so low voltage wise.
I only have this $5 meter...
I'm not concerned with shorts because this is a test setup.
This is the charger that is doing the pulse thing http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?319755-Trustfire-TR003P4-18650-Charger-Review
Is pulsing in any way part of CC/CV? Is pulsing another method that has some acronym I...
I got like 10 of these chargers on ebay for $3 each:
So.... It charges 4.2v 1% DV 350ma.. It's designed for charging cell phone/camera batteries with adjustable terminals:
I opened her up and tapped the lines inside ran through the led indicator port with alligator clips. I did this...
So I want to use a 12v to 110 household adapter. I have one that is 300 watts. And I am not looking to get 300w at 110v though.
Question is; If I hook up 12 1.2v aa rechargeable 2700mAh powerex batteries.
Does that equate to 3.24 watts per battery for one hour?
Meaning if I hook up 12 of...
Newbie here.. What is the blue meter device in this photo? http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm153/Chickenthief/Lygter/DSCN2380.jpg
Please link for a place to purchase it and explain what information it provides. I love data.
Thanks.
