BattMan II has the following capabilities:
- Works with Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd), Nickel-Metal-Hydride (NiMH), Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion), Lithium-Polymer (LiPo), Lithium-Nano-Phosphate (LiNP), and Lead-Acid (Pb-Acid) batteries of 1.2 to 14.7 Volts.†
- Discharges batteries to measure capacity at rates of 130mA to 2A.
- Charges at rates of 130mA to 1.3A.†
- Automatically performs repeated discharge/charge cycles to break in new batteries, or erase NiCd voltage depression in old ones.
- Measures internal resistance.
- Monitors self-discharge.
- Real time graphical display lets you see problems like mismatched cells.
- Keeps a log of all operations performed, which can be imported into any spreadsheet program.
- Saves graphs of charge, discharge, auto-cycle, and monitor operations.
- Connects via parallel port to any PC running Microsoft Windows (95, 98, ME, 2000, XP, or Vista).
- Operating software, complete with source code, is available to download.
