Can this meter read MaH on an RC Lipo battery? I have some 1500MaH Lipo batteries that don't seem to last as long as they should.

Yes, it'll read current no matter what's generating it. But what you really need is to put a load on the battery and see how long they last. You can calculate how much power they deliver.

Yes, I just tried it and it works but since those batteries are 3 volts it is hard to know if it is reading it right. It "pegged" out a new battery and I suspect that it will tell you if a 3V is very weak or dead, but not "low" since a "low 3v" would probably still produce more than 1.5v. By the way, this tester has already saved me it's cost in batteries I would have otherwise thrown away.

Yes you can, and also record the voltage that the battery contains. Although this unit is meant to do much more than that, and there are other less expensive multi-meters or battery testers that can give that type of information.

It will recharge most 2 or 3 cell lipos, the lead to balance and recharge lipos is universal.I only have 7.4v 2 cell lipos, but I have mah ratings from 150-1100 and they all recharge off the smaller connector on this charger.So far I've tried Venom Lipo's, Admiral, Turnigy and Lion Power.There's 2 sets of wires coming off lipo's, one for charging and a seperate wire you plug into your rc vehicle.Just make sure you choose a battery capable of plugging into your rc vehicle.

I use this meter to check voltage on my AA and AAA batteries, however, I do not understand the term "Clamp Meter" so I guess I can't answer your question but I really like the meter. Phil in Oklahoma

The receiver is not connected directly to the battery and it doesn't really matter with the battery mah. It is safe to use with LiPo or any battery.

Should be fine. The mah is storage of energy, so it just means the battery should last longer.

You get the best indication of battery condition under load. All this tester does is provide a load and measure voltage. I expect it wold work fine for your deep cycle batteries.

I agree with Mr. Young.. mAh is just the capacity and has nothing to do with the actual output.. it's the 2.4v that's important. In theory, this battery should last a but longer than an 800mAh, but battery manufacturer specifications of their battery capacities are not always correct. At the price, these batteries are a great deal!

It works ok in my Nikon camera which is a 7 volt battery. It can't be much different or it would not work. I haven't tested it with a meter, but as I say it hasn't hert my camera. I am not sure of the current capability as I haven't tested it. If it was much over 7 volts it would tear my camera up. Hope this helps some.

This tester will not test car batteries it's designed for AA, AAA's, Button batteries, hobby batteries ,9 volt and watch batteries. For car batteries you need a tester that will put a load on it to test the capacityfor cold cranking. Hope this answers your question.

Www.pocketfinder.com says it only draws 4 milliamperes when not in use. The device has motion sensors which help it know when to use more power. If your battery is in good condition I don't see this effecting it much. I have had mine installed about 1 month

While as some people suggested, a 9V battery may read slightly higher, a 12V automotive may read closer to 14V than 12V, but a 3.7V battery should never read higher than 4.2V. Odds are your meter left the factory miscalibrated or not calibrated at all and some part in it is out of specification. If you are adept at tracing electronic circuits then you may be able to open the meter and determine the correct component to change to fix the miscalibration issue, but it would be more of an academic exercise than a good investment of time since you will still end up with a low end meter selling for $8.

I'm pretty new to RC cars myself, but you will definitely need the right connector on the end to use it. To know for sure, check in the RC car user manual to ensure it can use a 6-cell NiMH battery rated at 5000 mAH.

Negative. You would require a way to monitor cell voltage if the 18650 were not individually charged kind of like an rc lipo with the balance plugs. Check out the arduino as a charge controller in conjunction with this boost buck.

It can not test any battery well. There are other testers better then this. There is an inexpensive tester out there. I do not have the model number. It is black with a red slide to make contact with the terminals of the battery. It works great.

From what I can see, it looks like it will test the same variety of batteries, but just a heads up on button cell batteries, on the BAT-200 it will test the 1.5v button cell correctly. But it looks like the 3v button cell battery will register but the needle is maxed out and not reading battery is good, it's just pegged out, I'm just waiting for one of my 3v button cell's to get weak so I can test it and compare results with a volt/ohm meter.
