Hi,
Here are a few. All will test and load Nixx packs while one will also test LiPo packs.

I've used this one for 25 years. It has saved my planes many, many times over. https://www.amazon.com/Expert-Electr.../dp/B0006O5LVS
With a 300mA load, this one is ideal for 40 to 60 size.
If you fly large scale, Horizon Hobby has one that does 500/1000/2000 mA. See FlyinWalenda's links above. I use both.

I will agree 100% with Brian Ray and warhwk , the HAN 171 unit from Horizon has been in my flightbox for years and has never failed to let me know what status my RX batteries are at .

I use the read-out on my Tx and for my flight packs I use one of these.

Cheap enough at $4 I often give them to other flyers.

Thank you all for this info. Just getting back in and stumbled upon this thread weeks ago. Now ready to fly again and had to search for this thread again and bookmarked it. Great info!

Hangar 9. No external batt required.
As Flyinwalenda stated, it is available here. http://www.horizonhobby.com/digital-...ltmeter-han171
