You can set them to discharge and charge a battery multiple times and they
will tell you the capacity in milliamp hours. They work on NiCd, NimH,
Lithium ion, Lithium Polymer, lead acid, charge from 0.1 to 5A... just
check
the specs. Connect to PC, cable and software included.

In my opinion they are a great charger for the money.

I just tried right now, the data doesn't start logging until a charge or
discharge has began. I have the Thunder AC 6 and downloaded the software
for the skycharger, works fine. I'm not sure if the charger doesn't send
data until it's started or if the software just doesn't start recording.

This place has a lot more chargers along with reviews

I found info on one of their reviews on how to calibrate the voltage
readings on my charger.
