Works great, updated buttons and settings
I've only used it a few days, but it works great compared to the 4 resistor purple board version.That one lost the capacity when turned off and back on. This one remembers settings, capacities, also has several modes to discharge batteries. The early version had 2 dials and you had to adjust it often to pull 150 ish watts. This one has a constant power setting. Set it at 145 or so and it will pull that no matter what the voltage as the batteries drop.Wiring on the purple board units is a little strange. Look at the diagrams. All 4 terminals have to be attached. I do like the full color hi-res display.The 4 resistor purple board "said" color display. But it is definitely monochrome. It was returned if you can't tell.The full color unit actually had some instructions, which were a little criptic... But it was relatively easy to figure out. I do like the on off switch they added as well...

Lifepo battery load tester
Works well providimg a dummy load of 150 watts to test battery capacity. Menus are on screen. User interface mot the best, but not hard to figure out

Needs better instructions
Very capable and flexible device, but instructions are next to none...

Low voltage cutoff!
I have MakeHawks other load tester and it has been working good, however it doesn't have low voltage cutoff like this one does. This tester allows you to set the low voltage cutoff so it can be used with lead acid and other batteries that do not have a built in BMS. This tester also has separate leads for the amp draw and the voltage reading. This should make this unit more accurate, in fact the voltage reading at the tester was very close to the reading I took at the battery with my Fluke meter even under load. I have seen some reviews saying this unit wasn't accurate so I will be doing some more testing and will update if I find this to be true. The cooler on this unit is also nicer being that it has plastic around the edge, as the cooling fins on the older unit is very easy to bend. The plastic, which also looks neat with the LED's helps protect the cooling fins.

Great purchase wish I bought two of them
Works better than I thought it would. I wish it would draw more amps but works very well and very accurate

Good Li Ion capacity tester
The media could not be loaded. I bought the 180 watt version of this capacity tester. It is good for testing tool batteries, which is my main use.The instructions are OK - but they are very small and hard to read. However you can find full screen instructions online and lots of youtube videos for the ATORCH DL24 which helped me. Apparently there is a free Windows app for these capacity testers, although it is not mentioned in the product description on Amazon. The Windows app is basic and not much to brag about however.So far I have used it to test 5-S Li Ion tool batteries, and it is working great.

working great for me
bought a 2nd. doing battery run downs of a certain type of battery.I found the voltage measurements to be dead on.There are a few quirks, but minor learning curve.

Nice product and with voltage shutoff!!
Tested bunch of batteries and usb cords and chargers. Worked well and highly recommend.
