BATTERY DISCHARGER & ANALYZER

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing the SkyRC Battery Discharger & Analyzer (BD200). The BD200 is a powerful
discharging device that allows the user to discharge a battery at up to 30 amps or 200 watts and also
measures and compares the performance of batteries. BD200 allows for the precise measurement of
battery capacity and takes the guesswork out of choosing the best battery for your application.

The BD200 is much more than a simple battery discharger or a battery load tester. It will test virtually any
type or size of battery, any chemistry or number of cells, up to 35 volts.

The BD200 is ruggedly built and uses XT60 connector for battery connection. It is small with a high
performance cooling system. Digital LED indicates battery voltage, discharge capacity and discharge current.

PC SOFTWARE

PC software supplied with the BD200 is easy to use, intuitive. There
are two discharge mode: 1. Constant Power; 2. Constant Current.
The software can automatic sensing of battery cell count and
recommends a minimum safe discharge voltage. Discharge tests
may be viewed in Amp Hours, Watt Hours or Minutes. Results can
be graphed as Voltage vs. Amp hours, Watt hours, Minutes.

OPTIONAL PARTS

Following charging cables are not included in the package.
You need purchase them separately.

Banana Plug
(SK-600023-08)

Dean Plug
(SK-600023-09)

Tamiya Plug

SAFETY NOTE

Improper usage may lead to fire, property damage and physical injury.

Never discharge a battery below its recommended cutoff voltage. Over-discharge may damage battery and cause
FIRE or EXPLOSION.
Never discharge a battery at a higher discharge rate than it is designed for.
Never leave the discharger unattended when it is connected to battery. If any malfunction is found,
TERMINATE THE PROCESS AT ONCE.
Place the discharger and battery on a non-flammable surface, and keep away from inflammables.
Never discharge swollen, leaky, or damaged batteries.
Batteries shall be discharged within a room temperature range of 10-40℃.
Disconnect the battery and discharger once discharging has finished.
Recharge batteries immediately with an appropriate battery charger after discharge process is completed.
Some battery types do not like to remain discharged for extended periods of time.

ERROR MESSAGE

When there is an error, digital LED will display the error code

Over-temperature protection.

Input voltage is too high. This discharger accepts battery voltage from 5.4
to 35V, if voltage higher than 35V, it will stop working and show error
message.

Input voltage is too low. This discharger accepts battery voltage from 5.4
