Ok thanks. Better not risk it then. I don't have an ammeter. I guess multimeters do that? Would need to learn how to use one first... those things are confusing.

Another reason that I was considering a full-length test is because my ESC instructions say to never connect a partially drained LiPo, because then the ESC can mistakenly over-drain the pack (if it runs long enough in total). Since I'd rather not toy with that possibility, then that means it's better to do just ONE short test run.

IF I need to do another test, then I should recharge the LiPo back to FULL charge. From what I understand, it's OK (but not great) to do that with LiPo's... like only use 10% of capacity, then just briefly charge back up to 100% when you need to use the pack. That's correct right?

Thanks for help
