Powerful, Robust, Simple
The SkyRC BD250 is a robust discharging unit that enables users to discharge batteries at up to 35 amps or 250 watts, while also measuring and comparing battery performance. The BD250 facilitates accurate battery capacity measurements, eliminating the uncertainty in selecting the best battery for specific needs.
More than just a basic battery discharger or load tester, the BD250 can test almost any battery type or size, any chemistry, and any number of cells, up to 35 volts.
Compact in design, it features an efficient cooling system and utilizes MOSFETs from the renowned brand IXYS, ensuring it can sustain a continuous 250-watt discharge.
Big Breakthrough Fan System
A single, larger fan pushes air downward through an extruded aluminum heat sink. As air passes vertically through the heat sink, it absorbs heat and carries it out. This makes the BD250 discharge rate at 250 watts continuous possible.
Features:
- It displays real-time battery voltage, discharged capacity, and discharge current.
- It can test battery capacity that helps select batteries with desired capacity.
- It saves time when the user wishes to store their large-capacity batteries.
- It helps activate the best performance of your batteries during racing competitions.
