I have a 1000 mah nicad (4.8V] and a 2000 mah nimh {6.0V} on a QQ Yak.
I am trying to buy a good voltmeter as the one I have now is suspect.
I understand voltmeters put a load on the battery to test it's strength.
Question: There are varying products that put different loads on to test battery strength. For instance, the Hobbico II voltmeter puts a 250 mah load whereas www.hangtimes.com voltmeter has a choice between 500mah or 1000 mah.
What is the approriate load to put on the batteries above to test strength: 250, 500, 1000?
Also any ssuggestions on good voltmeters that cover varying degrees of nimh/nicad and varying volt capacities would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
