Thank you Disaster999, that's exactly what i was looking to get, : information on the values to put in the charger.. I'm trying to understand where he gets the 16v outvoltage and the 10amp load,,,,,,i think it might be the battery taken in on CH1 and the load would be the resistor connected to it.(in the video)......If it's the case, why put 30amps on the discharge current....Thanks again for helping !


As for the schematics, you famous sarcastic Roelof, i had it...but thanks anyway!!

The manual is very clear to me but I agree the manual is very poor! (the discharge resistor was not even mentioned in the v1.0 manual)
The movie shows a different way than the manual. The movie shows a way by using the resistor load on the 2nd channel while the manual shows a serial connection with the battery so you only need one channel as also all iChargers also work.

The needed resistor is basic ohms law, it is the battery voltage divided by the wanted discharge current.
The (minimum!) needed power of the resistor is the battery voltage multiplied with the discharge current.

Because the dissipating power can be very high more resistors can be used in serial or parallel connection to split the power over all resistors as long you keep the total resistance the same. A heatsink and a fan is also advisable.

I wouldnt worry too much about voltages or amps if you are just discharging a 2S pack. I just slide everything to the max, the charger will sort itself out

Hi guys, can anyone recommend a discharger that can be connected to the charger and shipped to Europe? I also wanted to know if there's a difference between using a discharger connected to the charger and a standalone one, such as the Skyrc BD250.

i have the DB250, could not make it work with the Toolkit charger, ( i dabbled only like 10 minutes on it) i think it doesn't start or see it since it already has a system of on/off....mayby to try and open it up, cut the actual system of the equation and it would most probably work....Now, like i said, only tried for like 10 minutes or so...i might be way off and if someone tried and made it work, i'd love to know the solution to do so........So far, I decided that i'd leave it alone and build myself a 35amp bank and use the M8D feature

As per what i've read so far, the difference would be that discharging with the M8D, you balance-discharge and if you stick with the BD250, you discharge by total voltage only ...then you unglug the pack, and reconnect it to charge again....

If i'm wrong, please let me know about discharging balanced with the resistor bank.

Balancing with a high current discharge will not work, the same as in you car also no balancing is done while driving.

makes sense...thanks

Any word on when the next update drops? We need SAVED PRESETS!

That already exists

yeah, they're already there, what would be nice is to have more then 5 preset

What they really need to fix is when cycling a battery you dont get a full charge.

What do you mean?, i haven't noticed this.....You're saying that if you discharge with a load and cycle for 1 charge, you don't get a full charge ?

Yes exactly. Check with a voltmeter after you will see.

what about the metering on the charger? is according or is it false?

When cycle charging it seems like the balance is very short resulting in under charging. Keep a eye on it and give me your feedback what you find.
