Finally making some progress on this project. What I have learned is that you really need to know what your trying to achieve with discharging.
Mistake 1: I initially thought I was going to do a 40 amp load bank. My wallet, my packs and my knowledge on this topic said "Not so much"...
need to update this when I get home. More to come.
As of right now the load bank is built and almost completely wired. Again i will be doing a in depth write up of today's progress.
Last night I ordered the power resistors for the discharge bank. Now lets get into what I got and why i think its going to work?
Up front I want to say is sorry for the delay in this part. Things are still not ideal but are getting better. Its going to take some time for this project. Lots...

If there is one thing that can ruin your day faster than anything, it's when a cold solder joint decides to finally come apart resulting in a crash! Always double check the factories soldered connections before it ends up costing you money!
Voltage Tester - Battery Voltage Tester Battery Monitor Buzzer Alarm For 1S-8S Lipo Battery
This Lipo Voltage Checker for my batteries was actually included with a quad I did a review on that only had a 2s battery! I never did use it on that quad, but I have used it on every single batter that...
For four years, I have been using a Dynamite Ultra Duo battery charger to keep my machines flying. The Dynamite charger has been a wonderful piece of equipment, but it recently gave up and needed to be replaced.
Instead of buying another Ultra Duo, I decided to get with the program, and build a...
After almost a year of planning my solar rig is built and functional. Lets start at the begining with the planning,. I originally started off with a deep cycle battery from Home Depot for boats. After further research what I needed was a golf cart battery. That set me back about $75 USD but...
I decided to go ahead and put both of these videos in the same thread since they are virtually the same. The only difference between the two is the DX400 is 100w more power and the DX400 has an extra 2.4a USB port. The lack of voltage still worries me a little bit though but not enough to keep...

I thought I would go ahead and post this here since we can use this just like the 6 port charger that I reviewed a while back. Except this time, you can charge your stuff in your car instead of having to have AC power. Have a watch. It's a short video.

Had this sent to me from Anglink and I have to say, this is going to be a big help in charging multiple packs for the little quads that have USB only chargers. Have a watch and let me know what you think.

One of the most requested videos I have been asked for is "how do I parallel charge batteries". Well, the time has finally come and the video is here!
Ever since we posted the video showing us charging 9 3s batteries at 30 amps, people have asked how we could do that at such a high amp...
In this video, we revisit all of those letters on the front of a lipo pack. From the S Rating, to the C Rating, to MAH and even the P Rating that I have had so many questions about.
As always, if you want to see a specific video, all you have to do is post up and let us know. We will do all...
For all of you that have problems setting the throttle end points on your ESCs, here is a video
Credit for the content of this video goes to Gaba. I meant to mention this in the beginning of the video, but I was so tired at the time that I completely forgot. And after the video was done, I just decided to leave it as is rather than put a finished product in the beginning of the video...
