Anyone know of a simple DIY receiver battery load tester I could build myself? I remember seeing a circuit in a magazine many years back using LEDs, press the button to test with a set load, Green for good to go Amber for needs charging and red for don't fly. Something like that or with a meter would be Ok.

Thanks in advance,

Dave

You can build it on a breadboard....I have been playing with this one but there are several others out there if you search on Google

Just add whatever load resistor you want in parallel.
