Okay something caught my attention with the one you posted @Tank . The other test meters require a load when testing a powerbank, this one doesn’t. So this is currently in my number one spot! Thanks!!!

Why did you cancel?

Two different orders and they both said they were shipped and ready to be delivered but never came

I found a comparison on Amazon between the testers and their functions. Resolution is tight on UM25C. Still undecided cause UM34C has USB 3.0 but no Bluetooth computer support. I would like the computer application plus USB 3.0 but can’t have them both.

I have the eversame 2in1, honestly wouldnt use any others than ones with dedicated ports for both usb-c and usb-a. Too many bells and whistles usually draw their own current and waste power. Simple yet very effective is really the key.

Well, I guess the resolution and AMP reading on the UM25 offers some advantage. Its funny that in the special function description it shows Bluetooth on both.

Bluetooth is available on the um34c, but it’s app controlled and not via a computer which for some makes it more unreliable due to how the app could have been programed

I’ve been lurking around the net for some real feedback and I think @Tank has something on the UM34C. So based on my findings I think I also need a load bank with the tester and so far this is my current selection. Link To Amazon UM34C w/LD25

So many good options. I’m gonna have to read a lot to figure out which one I want

Yes, there are many USB meters out there and I know that this would really help out when testing devices, cables, powerbanks, etc… Imagine this in your test plan.

That’s a good combo to test how long to drain products and measure their true capacity

See I like where that is going @Tank If there was a testing event for a powercore or cables then I’m hopeful I get selected and test out the products to the extreme. Like I said I really like the features of the UM34C, just wish it had a computer application to go along with it just like the UM25C. But the ports are updated, kinda present and near future proof. Who knows what the next standard will be!

Yea I need it for future test plans and also for personal use, I wanna make sure the cables or chargers I get are getting the specs advertised

Thanks for the thread @dicejedi, lot of info from the group… will help when I really want to do the testing…

#22

Yes! @ikari04warrior I see a personal need for it as well. I’ve had other chargers and cables that I’ve thrown out thinking that they were bad, also I had a RAV Power 5 port charger that a USB port went out. I wish i would of had the meter to actually know for sure what was going on with that port. I gave it away and purchased an Anker one!

#23

Okay so I made my purchase and should have it next week! Of all USB meters out there I think this was my best choice!
