- Hey everyone! This is my first review on the Atorch UD24, which is a really capable USB/DC tester.
I haven't looked at the technical details yet because i'm not an electrician and I don't want to share the wrong information about it, but if you have something to ask, feel free to do it!
Also, if you think I said something wrong or not exact, tell me in the comments as well, i'll try to fix it in the video.

Great video! I am interested in buying this device. This video is very helpful, thanks! :)
Thanks. First review ud24 on TH-cam
Glad I helped!
Can you trigger PD voltage directly in UD24? Without that red trigger. It mean then for example on usb-c/DC output you will have 12/20V?
I have a HP EliteDisplay E243d monitor that delivers up to 65W via its USB-C port (PD). I can charge all my devices on that port (laptops, smartphones, powerbanks etc.), but if I connect the UD24 by its "Type-C Input" port, the UD24 does not turn on. If I connect the UD24 to other USB-chargers or my PC, it turns on normally. Is it defect?
Hi, it's a normal behavior. I haven't looked much into it, but i think that it happens because when you only connect the UD24 (or any other USB tester as far as i tested) to a power source without connecting a "final device" in the chain, the power supply has no idea how much power to supply, so it goes in a sort of "standby"
Great video! The PC software comes with a little tool to update the firmware. Do you have any idea where I can look to download the most current firmware version? I see lots of people have version 5.7, and I have 5.9. I'm wondering if in the future they might release a newer firmware too. Like, for example, it says that it supports PD 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, but in my testing it can't actually identify them as protocols, this could be something added in a firmware update and it would be pretty useful.
my ud24 arrived yesterday, already with firmware 5.9
Nice review, great gadge! Thanks for the post
Thank you so much!
How many amperes does it support maximum?
Is it possible to set cut off voltage tens and hundreds of volts, i.e. 4.19V?
Yes, you can set the cutoff voltage with a hundredth of a volt of resolution, and same goes for the overcurrent protection.
I hope that was helpful! :)
@@MatteoDeCarli2001ENG Thank you for review
hello, I spend a few hours how to discharge battery and use the set "cut off". The thing is that you put in ""Pover Supply 4-30V/NTC", so UD24 can operate. On an "INPUT" you connect a battery to discharge and on any of "Output" you put a load. You can see it in video clearly th-cam.com/video/oddjtsSPvg0/w-d-xo.html go directly 20th minute and 33 second to see it. I hope it could help someone - the producer has very bad manual which does not explain such things
Looks like a really nice tester for the price. But it's strange that it doesn't have USB-C PD (Power Delivery) detection, considering it has built-in USB-C input and output ports. The accessories pack also looks really cool. And the price for all this is just incredible.
I think that it lacks PD detection because it had been put on the market before PD started to become the norm. It's a relatively old tester now, there are plenty of newer, more accurate and feature-packed alternatives now
@@MatteoDeCarli2001ENG Can you link or write about these newer ones? At least one so i can check it.
@@reallastone a few examples that come to mind might be the Ruideng RD-35 or the Fnirsi FNB58
What about it's charging protocol detection feature?
Hi, how to change interface language to english?
Thank you for making this video. I was looking to buy this to test the batteries for the cell phones that I have to buy for the family. I have a few questions
1) The battery that you showed in the end that went from 4% to 50%, is that the battery indicator of the battery being tested or the battery of the UD24?
2) Did you get the Bluetooth connection to work with your mobile phone along with the app?
3) If I want to test how quickly my fast charger is charging my power bank. I will use the type C input for the charger, a type c output for the powerbank? or would that not work?
4) If I want to see how much volts, amps, watts the power bank is giving to my camera, I would do a type c input for the power bank and a Type A output for the camera? The input and output are type C and type A respectively.
5) Were you able to contact the seller atorch or hidance on ali express? I messaged them through aliexpress, but they are not checking their messages or replying.
Hey, glad you liked my video!
I'll reply to your questions:
1) The battery indicator is just a visual indication of the input voltage based on values that you set, the tester doesn't have an internal battery, so if you set for example the low voltage to 5 volts, the high voltage to 6 volts, if you provide 5.5 volts at the measuring input the tester would show 50%.
2) Yes, I was able to get the Bluetooth connection to work. In order to connect it you need to pair the tester to your phone in the phone's Bluetooth settings, then you can choose it in the app. If you don't pair it first, you won't be able to see the tester in the app.
3) You can use whatever combination of inputs and outputs you like, so you can definitely use a type c input and type c output. The configuration you talked about is right.
4) The same goes for this question, you can use a type C I put and a USB A output, or whatever combination you need, it's not a problem.
5) I also tried to contact Atorch on Aliexpress but I didn't get an answer either. I don't know about Hidance tho, I didn't try to talk to them.
Hope that helped you! :)
@@MatteoDeCarli2001ENG thank you for your answers, they helped. I wanted to contact them and ask them to reduce my invoice amount so i don't have to pay custom. I'll do it on the order message and try my luck, hopefully they will read it and do it.
@@asderven I hope they will!
@@MatteoDeCarli2001ENG Atorch replied, they said it was fine. I always worry because custom charges coming through air is sometimes 100% to 400% which includes product price + shipping price. A 25 dollar product ends up costing me 50 dollars to 125 dollars, which is no fun. Thanks once again, once I get my items in 1~2 months, if I have questions, I will let you know.
@@asderven that's really good! I hope you get your tester without paying too much!
The one thing I wanted to find out, you didn't mention... How do I link this device to my tablet over Bluetooth? My tablet sees it, but won't connect to it.. I did download the app, but nothing in the app works other than the change language button.
Also, I don't know what happens
if I input 12v to the barrel jack.. Does 12v come out the USB A and/or USB C ports?
To be honest, I had some problems with the Bluetooth too. One thing I noticed is that the device you're connecting it to doesn't show that it's connected, it only shows when it's paired. After that you should go to the app and select the right device.
About the 12v, i think that whatever voltage is applied to any of the inputs will be mirrored to all the outputs
why this keep say low voltage when i try join power
Ciao Matteo, alimentando il dispositivo tramite la porta input power supplier/ micro usb, posso misurare il voltaggio di una batteria AA collegata con cavo DC5.5? Grazie
Ciao, alimentando il dispositivo dalla porta micro USB dedicata, puoi misurare un voltaggio da 0 a 32V (se non ricordo male) su qualunque porta di ingresso
how to turn-off the lcd display?
I'm not sure it can be turned off completely, there's a standby function though where you can set a dimming time and the brightness to which it would dim to.
Very informative and detailed review - thanks for that! Makes me wanna step up from my "old" UD18... ZK-DP3D is also pretty interesting - i think Ali is going to get some money from me soon... ;)
Thank you so much for your comment! I'm really glad you liked it!
Ciao scusa, ma questo strumento misura il livello della batteria in percentuale di qualsiasi batteria? Per esempio si può vedere la carica residua della batteria di un power bank? Grazie
Ciao, purtroppo no
L'indicatore della batteria funzionerebbe solo se regolato correttamente e se collegato direttamente ad una batteria LiPo o Li-Ion.
Can you help me ? I bought the UD24 just like this. But mine is having a problem. If I connect a MICRO-USB cable to the input (5-30v / NTC power supply) My display shows a low voltage red message. But if I connect to the top Micro-USB input the UD24 shows that 5V is coming in. Then you shouldn't be showing this low voltage message. So I did a test. I edited the settings and set the low voltage to 3V which is standard for ZERO v. I tested it again and turned it on but the USB cable voltage (D + and D-) that should each present around 2.45V each shows 0.28 - 0.33V !!!!!! This is wrong !!!!
The NTC/power supply input is independent from the other inputs, so if you connect an USB cable to that input, you'll read 0V on the input because of that. That input is made just for supplying power to the tester not to influence measurements on the "real" inputs, but I'll make a short video about it soon
@@MatteoDeCarli2001ENG I know that !!! The problem is that to use anergy to power it that way I have to change the low voltage safety setting which is 3v by default. I have to decrease it to less than 0V for it to turn on using independent power. This should not happen ....
@@irascher I think that you should connect the thing you want to measure FIRST, because you'll give the tester a "valid" voltage over the threshold, and then you'll connect the power supply input. I know it's a weird behavior, but for how the tester has to be used, this is how you should do it
Very useful review .. thanks
Can I use it to test 18650
Capacity and internal resistance
Thank you very much for your support!
This tester can be used to test an 18650's voltage and capacity, but I'm not sure about its internal resistance. If you charge it through the tester you may be able to see it, because the tester does a resistance calculation based on voltage and current consumption
Hi There
Can I ask you if the DC is 5.5x2.5 or 5.5x2.1 type? It seems I cannot findd this information anywhere. I think its easy to find out by trying the 5.5x2.5 and 5.5x2.1 adapters that you have... Thanks
If i remember correctly, it's a 5.5x2.5mm connector
Nice video, how to raise battery capacity from 9% till 100% in your atorch ud24, tq
The battery capacity shown on the device IS NOT based on an internal battery (not present), but it's based on the current voltage level and its relationship between the set min and max voltage (can be changed in the internal menus of the UD24)
Do you also own the UD18? Any rough idea which (UD18 or UD24) has the most / better features?
I don't unfortunately. I was planning to getting one with a load integrated but I haven't gotten to it yet.
As far as i know, the UD18 and UD24 are similar in features, the UD18 is just more compact
Why is the capacity in MHA zeroed out, with 9% still in the powerbank?
The percentage on the right is just how high the input voltage is based on the minimum and maximum voltage you set
Do you know where to get the firmware? Or where to verify if we have the latest one? Thx
I have yet to check, but I'm not sure if you can upgrade it
can this be used as a small load tester?
Hi, this tester doesn't have a load function, you'd need to use an external variable load for that
With that did you film this with?
If you're asking what I filmed this video with, I was using my phone at the time. I believe it was a Huawei P10 lite if I recall.
Potresti fare una recensione del prodotto in italiano? Non c’è ne sono in rete. Grazie
Sarebbe una buona idea! Vedo cosa riesco a fare
Can I use this to test cable? Thank you
Yes! You can use it to check the resistance of USB or DC cables, but you'll have to do that manually, as there's not a function for that, as there is in other USB testers like the TC66C
@@MatteoDeCarli2001ENG thank you
@@MatteoDeCarli2001ENG what do u mean when you say, .... You have to do that manually?..please describe..thanks.
Hi, please make review on soldering iron. Thank you!
