Hi-Tec AD350 User manual

The AD350 is more than a simple battery discharger. It is a powerful test instrument that
measures, graphs and compares the parameters of various batteries. It allows for the precise
measuring of battery capacity and performance.
No more guesswork when choosing the best battery for your RC activities.
Notice:
As the time of release, (01/2023) the AD350 Discharger only works with the Hitec RDX2 1000 Charger.
Thanks for choosing the Hitec AD350 Analyzer & Discharger.
The AD350 Discharger supports most RC batteries and works with Hitec’s RDX2 1000* Charger
with a discharge current of up to 40A and discharge power of 350W.
* Hitec anticipates this Discharger will work with other Hitec charger models in the future.
