I am about ready to start testing my heap of prismatic cells.

I can charge them with my lipo charger, but discharging is a problem.

I want to capacity test at 2A. Anyone advice on a decent tester? Preferably not too expensive

Ivo,

First define expensive.If you earn 10,000 a year 100.00 is expensive.
If you earn 100,000 a year 100.00 is not too expensive. :p

If you are in the later then the Icharger x6 at ~120.00 is a very good unit.
Besides also charging your batteries (which you already have taken care of) it will discharge your batteries with settable parameters and log it to a sd card or your PC.

I bought this
 
To be at the safe side.
I check it again and i put a timer on it and see what happens in 12 hours.
 
The original post was for a 2a discharger. It occurs to me to share that I sometimes use my OPUS BT-C3100(s) where I put in dummy (taped off) cells to hold in nickel strips joining all 4 connections out to +/- that I connect to a pack. This gives up to 4a charge/discharge - with the features of the OPUS - e.g. auto-stop at 2.8v etc.
 
I sended a message to HiDance:
Me: But the cut off voltige, it does not stop discharging. it works perfect, but how to stop it from discharging if i set the voltige to 2.8 or 3.0 v? it gives only a alarm
Read.

Me: instead of the alarm when it reaches the desired voltige, i would like it to stop, thanks in advance
