[NSRCA-discussion] Advice on battery checkers

[Pete Cosky]

I bought a Duralite load tester a few years ago. It has a digital readout and does .5 and 1 amp loads. I use it on all my models no matter what batteries are used, NiCad, nimh, li-ion, or lipoly.

  Since it appears my new plane crash was due to a "new" battery failure or some kind of high drain, it is time to get back into the habit of checking the stinkin' batteries before every flight. This is a habit I had early on, but 8 years in pattern and no battery problems made me lazy. I used to have that cheapo $19.95 hobbico Expanded Volatge reader or some such, but what is out there that I really should be using for my new $2000+ airplane?   Please let me know what you guys think!
