Default battery pack lifespan?

Just plug a pigtail into any empty receiver channel and measure with a voltmeter with plug to match.

Easier way is to use a Voltwatch from Tower Hobbies.

Alternative, use a loaded voltmeter plugged into the charge jack, this does not measure with receiver on but it does simulate the load.
