Lipo Testing Advice - 12.22.2010, 09:39 PM

Greetings!

I want to test my personal lipo collection. I have an Eagle Tree and a brushless set-up with an airplane propeller to provide the load.

I am seeking suggestions as to the strategy for testing my packs against each other.

For example, here is what I am thinking so far:

-Full batteries at room temp, approx 1 hour off the charger. ETree Temp probe taped to the battery.

1) 0-100% throttle and hold for 1 second.
2) Rest at 0% for 5 seconds, then repeat step 1.
3) Repeat 1 & 2 four times
4) 0-100%, and hold for 10 seconds
5) Rest at 0% for 5 seconds, then repeat step 4.
6) Repeat 4 & 5 four times
7) Hold throttle at 100% for 60 seconds
8) Rest at 0% for 60 seconds
9) Hold throttle at 50% for 60 seconds
10) Hold throttle at 25% for 5 minutes

If I did this for each pack, it should be a reasonable means for comparing them to each other I think. I'm not trying to compare brands to brands or anything, this is just for my own nerdy enjoyment.

Thoughts on how I could improve this?

Thanks!
