MC8 Digital Multitool – Test & Analyse Batteries

As any avid RC enthusiast will know, Batteries can be quite tricky to deal with when operating them in more advanced ways than just single cells, and as you start using batteries with more powerful chemistry, you will find that maintaining such batteries becomes more and more difficult to get just right. Fortunately, whether you’re operating a small 2S powered drifting buggy or a high-power 6S drone, you don’t have to rely on simple guesswork and rigorous maths just to keep your batteries in good shape. Instead, you can get awesome portable tools like the MC8 Digital Multitool to do all of the hard work for you, keeping your batteries balanced and healthy so they don’t unexpectedly throw a tantrum or bite the hands that feed them.
