Hey guys I think I have found a cheap way to test lipos and how much current they can really hold. I just tried a Diesel Glow Plug from a friends Toyota truck on my Turnigy 4S 5K 40C. With my clamp meter I saw just over 15A of current. I left it on for about 5min and other than the Glow Plug getting stupidly hot everything else was cool. I should have measured the voltage too but couldn't find my Fluke meter.

Now I know some might be saying "What's your point?" but this could be easy way to test what sort of currents lipos can handle. Just add a few more Glow Plugs in either series or parallel (not an expert on this) and then just see how the batts hold up temp wise and if they puff at all. A clamp type current meter would tell you exactly what sort of amps you are pulling and a simple IR temp gauge will tell you how stressed the cells get. Oh and also a visit to a wrecking yard to pick up some Diesel Glow Plugs. Maybe from a big truck they will be bigger and you would need less of them. What do you guys think? Possible?
