I used to have a Deans bulb discharger with the cut off they called the black box. I was going with the fact that it had 10 bulbs and was a 20 amp discharger so I assumed each bulb was pulling 2 amps. 1 amp per filament. So when I calculated how many bulbs, I forgot to divide by two 250 bulbs is right. The black box cut off that was used back in the day with the Deans discharger was for 4 and 6 cell nicads, I was still using it when the nimh came out. Oh geez I'm old, I got in this hobby when the red 1200 mah matched Sanyo nicads were the hot ticket


No brain, no headaches.

Hair dryers - 12.06.2010, 06:11 PM

Wouldn't it be easier to hook up a few hair dryers or hair curling irons that can draw like 1000 to 3000 watts each. I know you would have to do several cells at once to get enough voltage, but 250 bulbs sounds like too much work to get setup. Or maybe some other kind of heating coils that would easily draw enough amps to get 75C without having to build a small city of lights. Maybe some 12volt block heaters, or a 12volt motor with some kind of load in it. Maybe a compressor, or a generator. Then just apply a clamp on amp meter to measure the exact power draw.


SUPERMAXX YOUR LIFE.
