Manual for the ZB2L3
The latest version is v2.3, bought in August, 2018.
Intentional use
Measuring of battery capacity
Mode of operation
A battery is connected to the two connectors on position 2 and 3 with plus to 2
and minus to 3, while a resistor circuit is connected to 1 and 4.

Connectors are shown as stars, the OK, - and + buttons are symbolized by #.
1 - Resistor circuit
2 - battery, plus
3 - battery, minus
4 - Resistor circuit
The device is switched on by connecting USB power (5V) to the USB micro connector on
the right hand side.
External load resistor: The resistors which come with the device have a nominal power
of 30W. Nevertheless these may become extremely hot although staying within the limits
of specification! It is recommended to use high power resistors of at least 100W and
mount these to aluminum heat sinks.
Power supply voltage: DC 4.5 through 6V (micro USB socket)
Working current: less than 70mA (this is the internal circuit, not the outer resistor
circuit or the battery circuit)
Measured battery voltage: 1.00V through 15.00V, resolution 0.01V
Automatically selected termination voltage, depending on the initially charged cell
voltage. Range: 0.5 through 11.0V.
Maximum current 3A, resolution 0.001A
The maximum measurement error voltage: 1% +- 0.03V
The maximum measurement error of current: 2% +- 0.010A
The maximum battery capacity range: 0.001Ah through 9999Ah (values lower than 10Ah are
displayed as X.XXX; values between 10Ah and 99.99Ah are displayed as XX.XX, and so on).
Board size: 50mm long by 36mm wide, by 17mm high, including standoffs
Note: in order to improve the voltage measurement accuracy, the circuit applies
a DC bias. The display may show a small residual value, which does not affect the
actual measurement.
Usage instructions
The battery to be tested should be fully charged first.
Connect the battery observing the polarity (+ terminal on the PCB to
positive battery terminal). Reversing the polarity may damage the circuit!
Connect the operating power to the tester via the micro USB cable. The display
should indicate the battery voltage.
Start test by pressing the OK button. The tester will automatically set suitable
termination voltage, according to the battery full charge voltage, and flash it
3 times upon starting the test.
The termination voltage chan be changed in 0.1V increments after starting the test,
by pressing the + or - keys. The termination voltage is displayed with a leading
P character. During testing, the electronic switch connects the load resistor, and
the testing data are displayed in sequence, as shown by the LED indicator:
the integrated capacity (Ah)
momentary discharge current (A)
current battery voltage (V)
When the battery voltage reaches the termination voltage, the tester cuts off the
load control switch, displays the capacity (Ah) and rapidly flashes the corresponding
LED indicator. Press OK to terminate flashing. Press the OK button again and return
to power on state, so that another battery can be connected and tested.
Error codes
Err1:
battery voltage above 15V
Err2:
battery voltage lower than termination voltage
Err3:
battery is unable to withstand the discharge current
(either internal battery resistance or cable resistance is too high)
Err4:
current above specification (higher than 3.1A)
Adjustment (Calibration is technically not correct)
Simultaneously apply USB power and press all three buttons at once to enter the
calibration mode and perform the following steps:
1. Display: 0u0A
Short connect both positive and negative input terminal (2 and 3) and press the
OK button!
2. Display: J10u
Apply 10.00V DC between connectors 2 and 3 and press the OK button!
3. Display: J2.0A
Apply 2.0 A DC current between the input terminals and press the OK button to
complete the calibration.
To achieve this, please, remember:
Maximum voltage : 15.0V
Desired current : 2.0A
Resistance should be: 7.5Ohm
If you e. g. use a 4Ohm resistor, you should set the tension to 8V, so that 8V/4Ohm=2A.
But the current should under all circumstances be measured with an external amperemeter
as accurately as possible.
If the tester determines that the calibration data is reliable, it will in turn show
four calibration numbers after completing the procedure; otherwise it will ignore the
calibration attempt, discard the data, and exit the procedure.
