What I would like is an effective way to measure battery capacity - that doesn't cost more than the charger. I like the CBA for discharge tests (westmountainradio.com), but it's $150 price may be too high if you don't want to be a battery geek. The Triton2 that SoaringXcellence suggested would do a good job, and it's only $100 from Tower Hobbies. The Multiplex LN5014 is $75 from Tower, good if the 0.4 amp discharge rate is OK for you. The CBA is discharge testing only, but the other two will also charge/discharge four types of batteries. They are powered from from a 12 volt source, like a battery or an AC input, 12 volt DC output supply. There may be cheaper discharge testing units, but I don't know of any. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (netto to net to email me) - "Transponders in Sailplanes - Feb/2010" also ADS-B, PCAS, Flarm http://tinyurl.com/yb3xywl - "A Guide to Self-launching Sailplane Operation Mar/2004" Much of what you need to know tinyurl.com/yfs7tnz |
