Best Value Charger to Diagnose Batteries?

Batteries and Chargers Chargers

Hi All

I’m looking for the best value charger to use for checking lithium battery status. E.g. measure battery capacity, state etc.

Would appreciate your feedback.

Thanks

Liitokala lii500
~$20 with adapter
~$16 without
On AliExpress.
The IR is not really reliable, I do it five times and go with the lowest I have seen

Thanks Miller. Maybe spend the few extra bucks & get the Opus BT-C3100 V2.2?

Or look at the new Zanflare C4. It basically has all the same functions as Lii-500, but it also has individual displays for each slot, and the IR is reliable, based on HKJ’s test.

I recently added a Zanflare C4 to my arsenal of chargers. IMO it is the best bang for the buck.
Versatile, easy to use, intuitive, analyzes capacity and accurately measures internal resistance, all for a cheap price.
HKJ gave it a good review.

I’ve been using the Lii-500 for over a year, now also have a Zanflare C4. Both work quite similarly. IR on the Zanflare works. I find a pretty reasonable correlation with my Opus, and decent reproduce ability.

IR on the Lii-500 is completely useless. I’ve tested 3 of them, all the same, so I know it’s not a problem with a single unit.

I’d go for the Zanflare C4, no question.

I have a Zanflare C4 on order at the moment, should have it in a couple of days, happy to read all the good reports on it. I did of course read HKJ’s review prior to ordering.

Appreciate the advice. I’ve decided to go with the Zanflare C4. $29.99 on Amazon at the moment…
