Discharging lipos has been a longstanding hassle, I've been using light bulb rigs which do the job but are not very convenient so saw this ISDT FD-100 smart discharger and thought it was worth a look, so I pre-ordered it.

As usual, I bought and paid for this with my own money, so this is just my personal opinion for my specific use.

I advise people to search for cheapest price in your country/at the time, and don't recommend any specific supplier, but people always ask for a link, so I bought mine from Banggood:

ISDT FD-100 Smart Discharger

Lipo checker I use is this type:

If you wanted to monitor individual cells during discharge, these lipo checkers have an adjustable trigger voltage and will beep loudly when lowest cell drops below that - you can put a piece of sticky tape over the horns to reduce volume for indoor use:

Hope this is useful, please comment with any questions, like, share and subscribe.

Thanks.
