    Will a CBA II load test an data log? Or do I need a new version?

    What is the Ah of a single 8.2V module?

    I don't have a CBA II but from my own research, it should data log if you connect it to PC.

    If you just want to load test a module, all you need is 12v/55w light bulb. Sylvania Xtravision 9003 H4 would work perfectly, especially if you connect two light bulb together = 55w+60w (high beam + low beam) = 115w/8v = 14-16 Amps of current, which is enough to load test a module. The pack of 2 light bulbs at Walmart should be around 20$.

    The initial voltage of a module is 7.2v, there is 6 NiMH cells inside of a module, each cell is 1.2v. The Ah of new module is 6.5Ah, after years of use, it can drop to anywhere from few hundreds to 4000-5000mAh. Hope this helps)
