TEAM WAVE Lightning Discharger V2 !

Teamwave, does the Lightning 2 give you readouts of the MaH, runtime remaining (seconds), discharge avg volts, and internal resistance per cell?

I think the only worth feature is its discharging time. It can discharge one pack pretty fast compare to the other discharging system... CTX-D2, DPD, BatMan 2 (full 4200 approx. 30 minutes). The battery just slightly warm at the end of discharging time
To TEAMWAVE :
I have one question : How to activate Cell Hold Voltage ?
I see with my digital multimeter, once it has done the discharging (DONE sign, on the display), the voltage goes back to normal (1.2xx Volt). Nothing's hold the voltage at the cut off (say, I preset to 0.9V cut-off).
Can you explain about it ?

Well if tit only gives volts then I would rather opt for the CTX which gives you the info you need to check individual cells and the pack re: runtime, MaH etc. I can live with the noise!

damm man. nothing can HOLD a cell at 0.9volts for ever. why would u want to anyway?
a cell has only a certain amount of energy. if you set it on XLD9, it does "HOLD" it for at least 5+ minutes, by decreasing its dicharge amps, then when there is virtually no energy left in the cell, it stops discharging.
if the cell can't stay above 0.9volts at 0.1amp discharge there is no point in discharging any further.
infact i beleive for IB cells it would do more damage than good.
if the cell doesnt rebound to 1.2volts then your cell has problems.
basically the longer u want it to "HOLD" at 0.9volts u put the XLD higher to 9.

ABout mah (capacity), I have the manual with me, but it doesn't mention any info how we know the capacity ... or I miss something.... only resistant
I think lightning2 and CTX-D2 is not so different.... and probably lightning2 is better 'cause it combines pulse and linear automatically .... and it's faster.
If you want to see something much different, go for Straight Ltd. Fortress ... I think it's the best discharger (IMO). It can discharge in 1 pack (upo to 8 cells / pack) or individual cell....
rapid, multi step discharge. You can also monitor the discharging process through your computer..... (graphics).
Here I attached the info you can see with Fortress.

So far, for IB4200 / EP4200, I set the CO to 1.0 and XDL to 4 or 5, it gives me good runtime and punch.... I'm using unmatched IB4200 WC edition and EP4200 UV ed.
I think I still need other discharging system for my stickpack.

Problem with Lightning V2
Hi Tem Wave,
Yesterday I got my V2. I encouter the following problem: putting a 5-cell pack on de the discharger (starting at tray 1) cell 2 till 5 discharge nice (starting with pulse and so on till .9v) but cell 1 continiously give PULS. I tried several of my racing packs (and they are good) but for all the same happend. I also looked at the voltage and cell 1 keeps his higher voltage while the other cells are equal to 1.2X. So is it something i doing wrong or is it the V2?
Regards,
Ronald (from the Netherlands)

Translation of the picture for English people:
Draad ertussen = put wire between (not soldered!! )
Niks = Nothing
+ and - = to show the way the 1st cell should be put in

Thnx for the reply, but as I red on www.teamwaveonline.com the V2 needs no modification for a 5-pack (or 4, 3, 2 or1). You know more about that?

Hi rduijkeren,
No need to do the soldering for the V2, it can discharge 5 cells with no problem, if it keeps displaying "PULS" rather than voltage, probably you have place the battery wrongly or the discharge MOSFET has been burnt. Please see the attached image for battery placement. If the MOSFET was burnt, we can send you new FET to replace or you send it back and we fix it for you. For more question, please send it to "[email protected]" and we will response much faster.

Whats the difference between the V2 and the new V2.1 Tray?
