I wasn't suggesting that anyone would have to
cough up $10K . . . just putting some perspective
on the market value potential for returns on the
effort. . . it helps sort prioriti ...

I bought the devices when they offered a high
return on investment for answering some questions
about battery performance between brands and
battery condition for insuring performanc ...

There is no difference electrically between two wires that are kept at the same distance in parallel and two wires that are twisted together to stay parallel. The reason they are twisted together is ...

I'm not so sure about the graphics. Yes, they do make for an
effective display of data . . . and comparison of similar
batteries . . .

Twisting reduces the wiring's susceptibility to interference due to the way it can cancel out certain external signals by reducing the wire's loop area (which reduces its degree of coupling to the int ...

Hello all,
After hearing of several of them burning out, I did an analysis of two West Mountain Radio CBA II's and have written it up:

Yes, I recall that. I must have been 'snowed' at the
time and the List comes first. We could discuss it here
on the List . . .

No problem, I understand. Smile

In another thread I'll post ...

Okay, I found it. I don't know why it was taken off the
website. It's still on the CDRom image of the website
as it existed some months ago. I've put the article back
up at:

Yep, you are right about that. Small wire=high-resistance=heat which leads
to smoke. How hot would a run of #4 get if it were shorted out (batt+ to
ground)? Would it smoke the insulation?

Bri ...

I own 2 of these devices. The first was damaged
when I tried to do a 4a discharge on a 24v battery
(well within the rated 100W power handling capability
of the CBA II). After a d ...

Hello all,
After seeing a few units burn out unexpectedly (including one of mine), I've been doing an analysis of the West Mountain Radio CBA II. I was wondering if anyone here had done the MOSFET s ...
