Default RE: How can I test receiver batterys

The voltmeter and cycler are really two different tools for two slightly different purposes. Cycling a battery tells you if it's delivering its full capacity, which will alert you to materials breakdown internally before the battery fails. The loaded voltmeter tells you if your battery currently is charged enough to supply the voltage you need, but really doesn't tell you much about the remaining capacity unless you've also verified it with the cycler.
