Ran across this thread on a Google search and wondering if I might be able to use the BT-C3400 Charger Analyzer to test the mAh capacity of my cell phone’s Li-ion Batteries? Since cell batteries are of course square and will not load traditionally into the BT-C3400… my plan is to open the charger/analyzer and affix jumper leads to the /- terminal and then run/secure those leads to the/- terminals of my cell phone battery. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated… also interested in any leads on any other chargers/mAh analyzers which may be more suitable for testing mAh capacity on cell phone batteries(?) Incidentally, I find it rather odd that someone has not designed a (economical) charger/analyzer to test all the square cell phone batteries on the market these days!?
I hope this thread covers your concern:
Hi,
I wanted to test the capacity of various mobile phone batteries to assess their realy vs stated capacity.
since opus accepts only cylinderical ones so i got an an idea to use my dead universal mobile phone battery charger as a holder for opus. i removed the circuit . soldered a nice wire from another charger (2 amps ) its hardly 5-6 inches pure copper wire. labeled the positive terminal on the case . put some insulation on the soldering points and inserted a foam in the empty shell t…
As to your next concern about a dedicated charger/analyzer for cellphone batteries, perhaps IMO, manufacturers are afraid it won’t be a commercial success for the sole reason that only few people buy extra batts for their phones.
