Yes that is the one, Rich. We can get it to discharge at about 7 amps without tripping the software or hardware into fault. It gives a nice plot of terminal voltage over time and calculates the amp hour capacity. It saves the data and will even print labels for the battery you test. A nice small package with fan and USB cable.
