GForce GD250 stand alone discharger

GForce from Japan have introduced their new GD250 stand alone discharger for 2S to 8S LiPo and 2-cell to 30-cell NiMH battery packs. With its 250W power circuitry it allows for up to 35A of discharge current with a 2S LiPo or LiHV battery pack, enough to swiftly discharge a fully charged battery down to storage voltage or to check a pack’s condition under heavier loads that the discharge function of a charger can supply. A display allows to monitor voltage, current and capacity in real time. The discharger can be coupled with a Windows PC and by using GForce’s GF Batt Manager software more details can be obtained from the discharge process – however the software is only available in Japanese language as of yet.
