Man, that will take forever to test each pack all the way to LVC in my buggy, especially if I need to repeat the tests. I need something with a higher amp draw that I can run on 2s. I have a VXL Stampede, but it is light enough that it doesn't seem to draw much current. I could use my bl-Revo or stock E-maxx, but they'd be boring as crap on 2s.

Ideas?
Just run it down to the lvc the first run and then after a dozen cycles. Would be interesting to see how the capacity changes after time.

Yeah, see if it is still in balance after the run, and then charge it at 1c and see if it can balance itself out during the charge. Alot of my packs needed charging at a lower rate, or filling up a bit, then blancing while off the charger, then charging again thru the balancer. It was a PITA, to say the least. My neuenergy, polyquest, fp, and polyrc do not need this, they will rarely go out of balance, and if they do it requires little balancing to get the right. I am a charger freak, check this out!
