ProTek RC "iChecker 3.0" LCD LiPo Battery Cell Checker (2-8S) w/Balance Discharging
About this part
This is the ProTek R/C "iChecker 3.0" LCD Battery Checker. The "iChecker 3.0" provides you with an affordable way to monitor the condition of your batteries and allows you to easily see the total voltage, capacity, individual cell voltage, lowest & highest cell voltage, as well as the voltage difference between cells on 2S to 8S Lithium batteries with a simple tap of the buttons.
The "iChecker 3.0" is also great for monitoring the total voltage of Nickel chemistry batteries from 4 to 8 cells, testing servo operation, and testing ESC operation! With an "iChecker 3.0" in your toolbox, you'll never have to question the condition of your batteries ever again.
Features:
- Monitor total voltage, capacity, individual cell voltage, lowest & highest cell voltage, and voltage difference between Lithium cells
- Monitor total voltage of NiCd or NiMH batteries
- Lithium balance discharging
- Servo tester
- ESC tester
- 2-8S LiPo, LiFe or Li-Ion batteries
- 4-8-cell NiCd or NiMH batteries
- 2.1" LCD screen
NOTE: This unit is compatible with 2-8S JST-EH and JST-XH battery balance connectors. Batteries that use Thunder Power/Flight Power, or Polyquest type balance connectors will require a balance adapter board and cable.
- PTK-BAL-HP-6S: Polyquest/Hyperion
- PTK-BAL-TP-6S: Flight Power/Thunder Power

In regards to Clara Hamby's review. It's not the same as the HRB cell checker. They are 1-7S, and also don't have ESC or servo test. Anyway, great little unit, seems to be on par with my SkyRC charger. I use it for a quick after run voltage test as it saves me having to power up my charger to do it
Nice quick lipo battery checker. Works great! I would recommend this protek lipo battery checker.
Works well, my charger does not tell me how each battery cell is doing and this is a good tool to have.
The item arrived scuffed with some of the lettering on the topped messed up. Works fine? Have an LRP balancer that reads the cells equal. The Protek cell checker says otherwise. One or both of balancers could be wrong!
I bought this the other day. It is an easy tool to use. It gives me peace. Great Item buy it.
Reviewers generally rate the iChecker 3.0 highly as a portable pocket tool for quick LiPo voltage and cell-balance checks without using a charger. Several praise its ease of use, the backlight, and the servo, ESC and centering functions. One reviewer notes that the backlight did not work and that discharge is slow, taking about four days for a 3300 mAh pack. One reviewer reported a scuffed unit with damaged lettering and a cell reading that disagreed with a separate LRP balancer. One reviewer clarified that this model differs from the HRB cell checker, which covers 1-7S and lacks ESC and servo tests. Most reviews are short, and the sample is small.
