+Simple rechargeable Ni-MH battery tester. The problem with those +batteries is: right after you take them out of charger, voltage level +at their terminals is good. But some old batteries will get +empty/discharged way too quickly under normal load. This device is +intended to discover old batteries with reduced capacity. +

+ +

+Freshly charged batteries are tested under high load by shorting +battery + and - terminals using 5 ohm power resistor +(R1). Simultaneously battery voltage is being measured while under +load. +

+I use vintage analog voltmeter. Instead of power resistor I use +Nichrome resistance wire. It gets hot quickly! +
