Discharge test

[KirstinS]

I have two turnigy accucel 6 chargers

They discharge test at 1a max which is painfully slow

If I set both of them on the same pack it should discharge test at 2a I think? (1a each)

Is that right ? Or left ?

Thanks

I think that you're in virgin territory there. I don't see why it shouldn't work.

I'm testing a brilliant laptop battery freebie in the bag I was given today by my local friendly laptop repair man - he have me 10batteries but this one contains lg 2800mah cells

They were all at 4.15v out if the pack. Great start

Discharging via both at present

Interestingly both at 0.4a (0.8v combined) forgot to say the chargers can only discharge at 0.5a on a 11.1v pack (1a on a 3.7v)

So seems to be faster but I have inexplicably lost 0.1a per charger .....

Just to confirm readings I repeated the test using one unit only

Got exactly the same results (well within 1% tolerenace)

So this does work

Are those charger the same electronics inside, just a different manufactures label/case ?

Yes - exactly the same software and capabilities

The only difference is the turnigy version is fan cooled and the IMAX is passive cooled by heat loss fins
