Default Battery discharger

Does anyone have suggestions for a good TX and RX discharger? Thanks

The Triton Electrifly is a very versatile charger/cycler. It can also do LiPo and Lithium.

You bet it is! Maybe a little over qualified. It can charge everything from the smallest lipo pack clear up to 12 volt whatever. It uses 12 volt as a power source.

I looked at a bunch of choices and ended up with the Accucycle Elite. I chose it because it could do 2 batteries at one time and because it comes with its own power supply.

Ditto piper_chuck. I just ordered the Elite, primarily because it serves the dual role of cycler and field charger. Very good bang-for-the-buck IMO.
