Discharge Resistor Bank 2S

Description

Discharge Resistor Bank 2S

Discharge Resistor Bank 2S gives you a clean, high-current way to cycle packs on iCharger DUO chargers. Specifically, it pairs well with the iCharger 406DUO, 308DUO, and 4010DUO. Moreover, the compact enclosure saves pit space and keeps wiring tidy.

First, a 40A discharge cycle can help reduce internal resistance and sharpen punch. As a result, you often see stronger voltage stability under load. You can also review internal resistance results in our test videos here.

Notably, an RC enthusiast designed this discharge bank, and our team builds it in the U.S.A. Therefore, you get a practical layout that fits real race-day routines. In addition, the unit connects fast so you spend less time on setup.

Why racers choose this resistor bank

Second, this add-on focuses on speed, safety, and a clean bench. Consequently, you avoid the clutter of external stands and long leads. Furthermore, the built-in fan control helps keep temperatures stable during repeated cycles.

• Discharge LiPo packs from 1S to 2S at up to 40A
• Smart fan controller for automatic cooling control
• Runs cooler thanks to the enclosed box design
• Saves room and time, so you skip a separate resistor stand
• Ready to use, therefore you plug straight into your iCharger
• Clean layout with short wires for a neat pit setup
• All-in-one design that helps optimize your space

Additionally, you can step up to higher cell-count options when your program grows. Here are 2 other versions available: Discharge Resistor Bank 4S and Discharge Resistor Bank 6S.

Discharge rates and power notes

Next, use the table to plan your discharge current by cell count and power supply voltage. Therefore, you can match your setup to your charger limits and your pack type. For background on how discharge works in general, review battery discharge fundamentals.

*With Power supply 12V, Maximum 500W on iCharger 406DUO, 700W on iCharger 4010DUO. **With Power supply 24V, Maximum 650W on iCharger 308DUO, 700W on iCharger 406DUO, 1000W on iCharger 4010DUO.

Resistor bank features and fitment

Moreover, the unit fits iCharger DUO setups with 10awg wire and built-in 4mm bullet plugs. Consequently, you get a solid connection and less clutter on the bench. Also, short leads can help reduce mess and speed up pack swaps between cycles.

Product dimensions and stand planning

Finally, use the dimensions below to plan your pit layout. Then, pair the unit with a compatible stand and power supply size for a tight, stable stack.

Version / Size	Width	Depth	Height
Resistor Bank 406/308*	7.6in (194mm)	4.9in (124mm)	4.9in (124mm)
With Charger 406/308*	8.6in (218mm)	4.9in (124mm)	7.0in (178mm)

* Power supply recommended dimension for the stand: Width: 8.6in (218mm) / Depth: 3.5in (89mm) / Height: 1.5in (38mm). In addition, our Resistor Bank with stand comes with 2 sets of feet to fit many power supplies.

** iCharger 406DUO and power supply shown for reference only. iCharger and power supply are not included with the Resistor Bank. Also, it works with the extra discharge mode on an iCharger X6/X8. With the iCharger X6/X8 or the 308DUO, you can discharge or charge at 30A.
