Capable of discharging high-capacity batteries at up to 40amps/380 watts, Hitec’s new AD380 is a user-friendly battery discharger / analyzer that caters to both novice and experienced RC enthusiasts alike.
The AD380 features three discharging modes to help analyze the health and performance of all your RC battery packs. It is perfect for racers and aerobatic pilots wanting to monitor cell resistance and maximize power output. And sport fliers and bashers can bring their high-capacity packs (up to 6S!) to storage level in a fraction of the time required by typical low-wattage built-in discharge circuits. Let the AD380 help keep your batteries at the proper voltage for storage which is essential to long life with high power output. Use Bluetooth technology and our convenient Link Power X app or connect directly to your PC to graph, monitor and compare discharge curves for individual packs.
