Hello! I need a lithium battery tester for mobile phones and laptops. I want to measure resistance and capacitance (not just readed capacitance from BMS) . |

Capacity can be measured most easily with any good charger. The SkyRC MC3000 is quite versatile in that respect. You can also go DIY and use a charger and a separate load, plus calculations. See https://www.lygte-info.dk/ for example. The resistance is more complicated, as there are many types of resistances/impedances in batteries. Search for "Combined Randle and Warburg Circuit Model" or "Equivalent circuit model". Different testers exist to measure the different impedances of Lithium batteries, in a wide price range. The one I made is here: https://github.com/hb020/batterymeter. You can also look in the https://www.eevblog.com/forum/renewable-energy/ section of this forum. |

This kind of chargers like SkyRC MC3000 can be used with mobile phone batteries if i connect "+" & "-" only? |

Depends on the battery. Some batteries use extra contacts for extra functionality/protection. Also, be aware that very few chargers that are made for cylindrical cells, also have the possibility to connect external temp sensors. A temperature sensor will allow you to do safer charging (I'd recommend that with dV/dt charging). I have a recollection of the MC3000 supporting it, but can no longer find proof of it. So you may be better off with other chargers or go DIY. |
