Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a USB load tester discharge resistor used for?

A: A USB load tester discharge resistor is used to simulate a real power draw from a USB power source such as a power bank or USB charger. By connecting it via USB, you can measure the actual voltage and current output under load conditions — helping you verify the true capacity and performance of your power bank or charger.

Q: Is it safe to use the mini USB load tester for extended periods?

A: The resistor generates significant heat (approximately 80–85°C) during discharge. It should not be left unattended during use. Always place it on a heat-resistant surface, avoid touching the resistor body during operation, and use it in a well-ventilated area to ensure safe testing.

Q: Can I use this USB load tester with any USB power source?

A: Yes — this mini USB load tester is compatible with any standard USB power source, including power banks, USB wall chargers, PC USB ports, and car USB adapters. It supports discharge currents of 1A and 2A, making it suitable for testing a wide range of USB power devices.

Q: Does this module measure voltage and current on its own?

A: This module functions as a load/discharge resistor to draw current from your USB device. To read live voltage and current values, you would pair it with a compatible USB power meter or tester (sold separately), which displays the electrical measurements in real time.
