Thanks for this post, Mike Mueller

Hi Mike,
IIRC, a 3 bulb unit is about 4A of discharge current. Folks will often put 2-3 in parallel in order to get above 10A discharge current...it is detailed in the RCGroups thread I linked above.
When they put 3 in parallel, they use this AOK unit (different from the Cellpro 8 unit, but uses the same bulbs)

AOK 3in1 150W LiPo/LiFe Battery Balancer Discharger Voltage Tester RC Car Quad
There are LOTS of other suppliers for this unit (Bangood, eBay, Aliexpress, etc). Just make sure its the blue unit and comes with 3 bulbs.

If you have any questions, please give me a call.
