The battery testing function is described in the new manual, but it's not clear how or even if you can have 2 battery tests in parallel.

Interesting that this thread has gotten some activity suddenly.
I've been looking for a good deal on the EL34243A dual channel model for the last year or so but had no luck. The added battery test feature mentioned here increased my interest recently. A few weeks back I noticed some EL34143A mid-level single channel units on the Keysight used site for right at $1k and I couldn't resist picking one up. The extra 5% off and easy purchase process sealed the deal. Shortly after I bought mine, another one showed up and I see it's now sold as well.
The battery test feature is something I'm really looking forward to, but also the additional features and accuracy compared to my Kunkin KL283 will be welcome. I had experimented with a battery capacity test setup a while back but due to my lack of time and skill never got it going.
I can see the point of Keysight wanting you to run this via their software, but I also see the point of wanting to just be able to walk up and hit a few buttons to run the battery test for example. I have a dedicated machine with the Keysight software and have not had any issues with it. Keysight is also offering PathWave BenchVue Basic for free now, which I admit I haven't tried out yet.
