HELTC 2-Channel 18650 Battery Capacity Tester with Internal Resistance Measurement

Take the guesswork out of battery health with the HELTC 2-Channel Digital Battery Capacity Tester. Designed for hobbyists, makers, and electronics enthusiasts, this compact dual-channel tester accurately measures mAh, mWh, and internal resistance for 18650 and compatible lithium-ion cells — all from a single, easy-to-use device powered via USB Type-C.

Key Features

  • Dual-Channel Testing: Test two batteries simultaneously for faster throughput and direct comparison.
  • Internal Resistance Measurement: Uses the DC two-wire method to accurately measure a battery's internal resistance — a key indicator of cell health and performance.
  • 1A Charge & Discharge: Supports up to ~1A charging (auto cut-off at 4.2V, stops when current drops below 0.1A) and ~1A discharge with 11 adjustable stop-discharge voltage steps (2.5V–3.5V).
  • Automatic & Cyclic Modes: Run automated charge-then-discharge sequences or set up to 9 charge/discharge cycles (in automatic mode) for thorough capacity evaluation.
  • Fan Active Cooling & Overheat Protection: A built-in fan actively dissipates heat during operation, and automatic overheating protection keeps testing safe and reliable.
  • Status Alerts: On-screen alerts notify you of key events during the testing process.
  • English Language Interface: Clear, easy-to-read English menus for intuitive operation.
  • Type-C Power Interface: Powered at DC 5V via the included Type-C power supply and cable — no proprietary connectors.
  • Compact & Durable: Plastic and metal construction at just 190 × 50 × 27 mm — fits neatly on any workbench.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What types of batteries are compatible with this 18650 battery capacity tester?

A: This tester is compatible with lithium-ion batteries that have a discharge stop voltage between 2.5V and 3.5V, a start voltage of 2.8V, and a full charge voltage of 4.2V. This includes standard 18650 Li-ion cells. It does not support lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery charging.

Q: Can I test two batteries at the same time?

A: Yes! The tester features two independent channels, allowing you to measure the mAh, mWh capacity, and internal resistance of two batteries simultaneously — saving you time when evaluating a batch of cells.

Q: What does internal resistance measurement tell me about a battery?

A: Internal resistance is a key indicator of a battery cell's health and age. A lower internal resistance generally means a healthier, higher-performing cell, while a higher reading suggests wear or degradation. This tester uses the DC two-wire method for accurate internal resistance readings.

Q: How many charge/discharge cycles can I program?

A: In automatic mode, you can set between 1 and 9 consecutive charge/discharge cycles. This is useful for conditioning new cells or thoroughly evaluating capacity over multiple cycles.

Q: What power supply does this tester require?

A: The tester operates at DC 5V and connects via a standard USB Type-C interface. A compatible power supply and cable are included in the package.
