G'day,
A good friend of mine in Europe is planning to manufacture and sell
an improved version of the ESR meter I designed. Problem is, he's not
sure how much it should sell for.
I've got a photo, some details of it and what I think is a good
price at http://bob.parker.web1000.com/euroesr.htm
Could you please take a look and give me your valuable comments?
Thanks! :-)

Cheers,
Bob

But I thought yours was perfect.

What's different besides the much cooler case and better test leads?

Hi Bob,
I think your suggested price , BUILT and CALIBRATED!!! of $80 USD is
fantastic. Considering that the best price that I have seen for the current
built and tested version of the DS ESR meter is around $99 USD. And it
doesn't have the input protection and the nice test leads!!
If I didn't already have one of the current version, I'd certainly buy one.
That is, unless the new version were to be offered in kit form too.

Cheers,

Time is what keeps everything from happening all at once.

I have both the Capacitor Wizard and the CapAnalyzer 88A and paid $180
for each..... Based on that, I would say you price is very
reasonable.... Good Luck...... Bill

Thanks Bill and everyone else for your very positive feedback. I'll
pass it all on to my friend to reassure him that he will be able to
make a bit of a profit from making his meters after all.

Bob

Have you got a chart for battery internal resistance?

I've got an "under the hood" photo of the innards of that ESR meter
on that web page now, so you can see how well it's constructed. Hit
Ctrl/refresh if you can't see it.

Hi Geo,
I dunno what the problem would be. That site's in the USA and I'm
able to access it OK from all the way down here in Australia.
Is anyone else having trouble seeing it?

Site works fine here if with (gasp!) java turned off.

BTW, how large a charged cap do you figure those diodes will survive?

Maybe they should be replaceable like a fuse. :-)

We sell assembled kits here in Canada...but ours is the original DS
kit... Looks much the same AFAIKS, except for case - and he has added
the two high current diodes across the inputs to protect the meter
from charged capacitors

http://www.flippers.com/esrkthnt.html

His box looks much nicer than the DS one though...

G'day,
As far as I know, he's selling them to anyone anywhere who wants
one. That list of countries only applies to one particular method of
payment. I've told him that what he's written is confusing people and
to please change it. This is his first attempt at doing a website,
plus his English isn't perfect. :-)

Cheers,
Bob
