I'm looking for a (cheap) LFP tester for individual CELLS. I have a whole pile of 6AH cylindrical cells that people have dumped on gifted me with over the last year, and I'd like a cheap way of sorting the wheat from the chaff before I even think about reassembling a battery from the functional ones.

I found https://www.amazon.com/Battery-Charger-Universal-Rechargeable-Batteries/dp/B0C1JN4S76
which has one channel of LFP charge/discharge automatic cycle to determine battery capacity, but even at $26 it feels like more than it should be. Yeah, I've seen the West Mountain Radio stuff, but unless I don't trust my big batteries, that's way more than the project is worth.

Are there other options?

Thanks!
 
For a rather long time I'm happy with Imax B6 charger/discharger.
There are versions with AC supply or with DC in (my choice, as I always have 12V power brick at hand, and it's cheaper this way).
It could be over Your budget, but it's versatile enough to be used for other batteries, too.

First link I found at the moment is here .
