Project description
A (very) simple design which can (with the correct firmware; I might upload some) measure the capacity of a lithium ion / polymer battery (or any other battery, with a different load). Could also be used to discharge a Li-Ion / Li-Poly to the correct storage voltage (~3.8V). This is intended to be used with an Arduino Pro Mini (or clone).
