We test a lot of motors and ESCs on our RCbenchmark thrust stand. It safe us a lot of time by using automatic scripts and direct Excel exporting data. All thrust tests are done under the same conditions. However this requires to charge the LiPo battery after every test. And this is extremely time consuming!
To optimize the testing process we decided to replace the battery with switching power supply. Our new equipment is the SkyRC eFuel 1200W. It is a 50A AC/DC power supply. And it is huge compared to a 4S 1300mAh LiPo battery!
It is great, that we can adjust the voltage between 15-30V. So we do not need 4S, 5S or 6S batteries anymore. The power supply is easy to use, much safer than a 16.000mAh LiPo battery and has current and temperature protection.
Overall we are very happy with the new tool and can´t wait to start with the thrust tests of the new Aikon 4in1 BLheli ESC. Stay tuned and follow us on Facebook.
