I don't have an IR meter, but from what I've read the YR1030/1035 or RC3563 seem to be the way to go. I think I will just get the 1030/1035. It will be used for 8ah Headway cells, 18650 lithium cells, and potentially some larger LFP cells (300ah) in the future. Would love to be able to get some measures on RC Lipo packs also, but that is not a requirement.
The question is where to get one? Many threads on this, but mostly older and some links no longer work. I see some on Aliexpress for as little as $20 shipped whereas on Amazon or eBay they are more like $50-$80 depending on the accessories. But I also see on Ali for $40-$60. I'm just wondering if the cheap ones on Ali are the same as the others and everybody else is charging too much, or if the more expensive ones are better in some way.
Anybody have experience getting a good YR1030/1035 from Ali? Or can recommend the best source? It's so hard to tell these days whether you are getting scammed by over-paying or scammed by under-paying.
