First I'll hit up the ISDT Charger. Plugged it in to AC and tried to use ISDT GO app to find the charger and that was a no go, don't let the manual fool you. Download the ISDLink software, search and bam, connected. The app is limited to showing 4 fields of information. The top is charge percentage and right under that is chemistry and cell count. Below that is cell voltage and internal resistance. At the very bottom is a black button you can use to stop charging.
The menu on the charger itself is stupid easy to use! Set your charge rate by scrolling down from some basic presets and from there you can set your charge rate by .1 amp. It's so easy it's not even worth explaining everything. Seriously it took less than 5 minutes to figure out and yes, you can change cell voltage for HV batteries or get extreme for speed runs. It does have a fan that kicks on when the internal temp hits about 102F and kicks off at around 96F fairly consistently and the internal temp does show on the charger screen.
The charger itself feels sturdy with an aluminum case and has some heft to it. The screen protector was jostled off during shipping but there no damage to the screen. NO cables are included other than an AC cord to power it up. I was aware of this so I got some 8s balance boards and female XT60 to male EC5 connectors. I plan on making a hefty XT90 to alligator clip cables for when I'm out it in the field.
Now for the ZEEE Batteries. @ 5A from storage charge it took approximately 50 minutes to balance charge and ended up with internal resistances from 10.5 M Ohms to 11.8 M Ohms.... Very nice, no return on these! I'll whack em down to storage on my ISDT 200 before I leave the shop. @ 6A it took about 42 minutes to charge with 15.2 to 16.8 M ohms IR... A little high but not enough to worry about and consistent from cell to cell.
EDIT: One odd thing I found out is that the app itself only shows IR when charging and using the balance board on the left port. When charging two batteries at the same time it shows IR on both ports. Weird, but not a game changer. Also I have zero problems charging two 9000 mAh batteries @ 1C, 9 amps each and handles the task with ease. If anything else comes up, I'll edit my post. Also, the IR on the ZEEE batts dropped considerably after a 45 minute rest to 5.3 to 7.
So, I hope this helps anyone looking at this battery or charger. Have great weekend and keep on bashing/Speed Running!
