In this video, I take a look at the makerhawk constant current electronic load tester. Rated at 150W, this unit will get the job done and tell you with ease the capacity of your batteries. From RV, Travel Trailer, Drill batteries, RC cars and more... this unit will get the job done CHEAPLY! Talking sub $60! But for big batteries, it make take a good part of a day to complete a test or even DAYS. But the great part is - just plug it in, set it up and walk away.
For this device, I added in a relay controlled programmable low voltage cutoff I also sourced on Amazon. This will cut off the battery from the load test device when the battery reaches a voltage you determine.
During the video I run through 4 Ryobi 18V 4AH packs - seems my old packs have held up excellent over the years.
If you like the laser cut chassis for this combo, email me at admin@garage1217.com to order one. With thumb screws, feet, standoffs acrylic and laser time - looking at approximately $45 + shipping.
For those modificators out there... this unit can be water cooled! It will support just south of 300W which is double the stock capacity. Absolutely amazing for the price.
