max current on the balancing cable

[ItsMeGermanGuy]

Hello Flite test community,

I was wondering if you could run an arduino on the lipo balancing cable. I thought about making a arduino based charge tester for my lipo batteries.

Therefore I'd need to know the maximum charge that could go trough a balancing cable of a 3s lipo 1000mAh battery.

Thank you for your support!

You should easily be able to run an arduino off the balance lead. The arduino will only take milliamps to power while the balance lead should be rated for multiple amps.
