How could I "activate" a Mini 2 battery to check its actual voltage? As I've stated in other posts, I do not trust blinky lights or "auto" discharge.
If I have to rig one up that's no problem. I'm pretty handy with a soldering iron. Ive made several charge cables for lipos to be used with my smart charger and helicopter batteries ranging from 1S to 6S.
I use a Hanatora charger so I already have four cables with a battery socket on one end and a barrel plug on the other. I only have two batteries so I can sacrifice at least one cable for this. The battery "sleeps" almost instantly when the plug is taken out of the charger so using a DMM on the barrel or the battery pins is useless.
I have some ideas but they're kind of convoluted so I wanted to check here before I rig up a Rube Goldberg cord.
Thanks.
