RC Discharger Introduces Battery Benchmark Software

US based battery discharger specialist RC Discharger has introduced a new battery-testing platform called Battery Benchmark developed for Windows and Android and designed exclusively for RC Discharger regenerative dischargers. Instead of relying on labels, advertised specifications or guesswork, racers can now test two LiPo batteries side by side under identical conditions and see the real differences in their performance. Key features include dual-channel, side-by-side battery testing with Live voltage and temperature curves. It also provides capacity and internal-resistance analysis with detailed, directly comparable result sheets. Other elements of the platform include automatic test archiving, unique identification for every battery, multi-battery comparisons, battery cycling programs, and ready-to-use break-in routines. RC Discharger Battery Benchmark is currently entering beta for Windows and Android. iPhone and iPad support is planned, and many additional features are already in development. Beta access is available exclusively for customers using RC Discharger regenerative dischargers. A compatible temperature sensor is mandatory, and Android systems require the RC Discharger USB Benchmark Adapter.

RC Discharger High-Output LED Pit Light

Washington state based RC Discharger has released this High-Output LED Pit Light, a purpose-built lighting upgrade designed to mount directly to the RC Discharger Car Stand. Developed for competitive racers and dedicated pit crews, it delivers bright, focused illumination exactly where it’s needed—on the chassis, electronics, and tires—helping reduce setup errors and speed up turnarounds between heats. Unlike generic bench lights that clutter the workspace or cast uneven shadows, the Pit Light integrates cleanly with the stand to keep your pit area organised and consistent from race to race. The high-output LED design provides a crisp, stable light field that makes it easier to spot loose hardware, drivetrain debris, wiring issues, and shock leaks—especially in dim indoor venues or late-day outdoor events. From a technical standpoint, the LED-based solution offers efficient, low-heat operation and reliable performance during long race days, supporting quick, repeatable maintenance without the distraction of excessive heat or fragile bulbs.
