Yeah, I keep a log of all the packs I have cycled. I used to have a turbo 30 and have learned that the Tekin DIS350 has lower numbers than the competition electronics chargers. It is consistant, just lower voltage and higher IR.

I have done most of my testing at 20amps but some at 30. I run mostly stock and the 20amp is a lot closer to real life discharge, also alot of the packs I have tested are not mine and I wanted to be a little easier on them

One option I would like to see is a discharger that I could set to take a specific amount of mah out of a pack and give me info. I have often wondered how packs compare in real world use and seems to me that option would give a better compairison, because I am sure you understand that a 5000mah pack that avg. 7.25V can have more power than a 3200mah that avg. 7.5v when you are only using 2000mah. Guess that is where a nicer discharger with graphing abilities would help?


I will post some of my #'s tonight when I get home.
