Voltage checker and battery question - need recommendations
Hi all,
I am just gearing up - getting into electic after a many-year break from nitro aircraft. I am trying to decide on a LiPo voltage checker and battery pack.
First, for the checker, I am considering the following. I want a checker only - don't want one that balances or discharges as I will only be using my charger for that. Based on that, what are your recommendations?
1) CellLog 8M
2) Hyperion EOS Sentry 3
3) JR BC580
4) Anything else I should consider?
For batteries, I need an 11.1v 3200mAh 3S 20C LiPo with EC3 for my E-Flite Apprentice S 15e. I am considering the following:
1) E-flite 3200mAh 3S 11.1V 20C LiPo, 13AWG: EC3 - $44.99 each
2) Kinexsis 11.1V 3200mAh 30C 3S LiPo Battery, 12AWG: EC3 - $29.99
Anyone have any experience with the Kinexsis packs? Are they any good? Any other packs you would recommend that would keep the cost down?
Thank you!

Hi,
All of these checkers below will give you pack voltage and cell voltages. The Hitec will show the percentage of charge as well.

The Kinsexis lipos are good for the price.
Venom's are better with a good warranty too.
