[NSRCA-discussion] Advice on battery checkers

[Pete Cosky]

That really looks like a cool device. 

Do you have the serial interface as well? If so how easy is the configuration?

  I would go with Gordon Anderson's Maestro - I've been using it for a while now and love it.  I check my batteries every flight but unfortunately that isn't a guarantee against battery failure either.  :-(  I had my ProLine go in after I checked the 4 cell Nicad (5.56v and under load of 5.01v).  

  Gordon's website is:

    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!
