Hi Guys,
very unwisely i used my multimeter to "perform" both
a continuity and resistance measurement on a charged 18650 cell.
Unfortunately i also tried both of these two measurements both ways
1. red on +, black on -
2. red on -, black on +
The battery did not heat up, no sparks, no fume. The multimeter showed nothing /unplausible stuff depending on which pole i held the probes. Multimeter seems to work fine. Probe lines are fused 200mA/250v. No fuse applied as far as i can tell.
I would ask you, if i did damage the cell by doing so. If someone could explain what i technically did by my doing i would also be thankful.
Thanks for your time
Clementine
