battery output/life

Post by Steve-o »

i have an r/c car battery, but it doesnt say its output or its total ma. is there any way to figure this out? (without using a voltage meter)
PSp is about 70% done, just have to do the controller and case.

Most likely if it's too cheap to say what mAh it is, it's probably around 1400-1500mAh.

You could hook two flashlight bulbs together in series and measure how long it takes to drain the battery. Then multiply time * bulb current draw.
