How to check battery voltage
 
Hey guys quick question? I'm looking for a way to check how good the voltage is on my 1s packs through out a discharge. What is my best option other than a t35 ? Thanks

If you're talking about discharging on the bench a DVM is your best option...

You should be able to wire in just about any of these:

You could use one of these? It comes with software so you can view the discharge curve on a computer.

Nope Dave read the limits..
Voltage Range: 5.40-35.00V Low
id use a volt meter.. and theres some cells checkers and buzzer that will work if wired thru a balance plug. it will check 1 cell voltage range

I use this one. Available through most places or eBay for $10. Just plug in the bottom pins into the balancing plug of the battery.

It will show the voltage of each cell and then ALL.

works great.

checks voltage only, does not discharge or any other function.

But it does not work with 1S batteries as what was asked in the start post.....
A simple voltmeter/multi meter is the best. choice and a multimeter is always handy to have.

didn't see that, thank you

You can also get super-small, self-powered voltmeters. Poke around on ebay. Put a small momentary switch in line and you can check it whenever.
