Discharge rate during Nimh cycle
During an nimh cycle process, what discharge rate would be appropriate to approximate that of an electronic ignition (RCExcel on 20CC gasser)?
Practical test is not possible yet as the a/c is still under construction.
Been building my own packs for many years using Eneloop cells and have had great success. However, the latest batches of new cells I've received are not nearly as robust (i.e., suspect). Will eventually switch to Life packs but in the meantime.....
Any practical guesses?
Thanks, G42

It's best to discharge the battery pack at a rate that closely matches the consumption of the device you are using.This gives a good idea of the flying time you can safely use. Use a cutoff voltage of 1.1 volts per cell. Get in touch with Adrian at his website and ask him. He tests all of his products and will tell you. Dan.

The original question is/was, what will the amp draw be? I don't know too much about the subject, but I doubt that an electronic ignition for a small CC gasser is going to draw 15 Amps.

As I mentioned in my first post, the airplane is not finished yet. I'm trying to "right size" an ignition battery pack in an effort to minimize expenses and still get it "right".

Hi Guys, Sorry took so long to get here.
A CH or RCEXL CDI it will draw around 400-500mha at full RPM, I check at 10000 RPM
When you idle will be like 50-70mha and as RPM increase the draw increase,
A 2100MHA should last you a 4-5 Hours of continue flight at full throttle.
