Racers have asked for it and Novak is delivering it: a dead short tray
for their batteries. Many racers discharge their Ni-MH packs to 0 volts
for storage as this has been thought to increase performance in both
older and newer cells. Novak’s new Flatline Dead Short Battery Storage
Tray was designed for racers looking to deep discharge, or completely
discharge (or dead short) their battery packs.
The Flatline works with single sub-C cells up to 6-cell packs. It
discharges at a rate of 2.7 amps, and can completely discharge a pack to
0 volts utilizing Novak’s ICM (Individual Cell Monitoring) Circuitry,
which discharges cells individually. A single LED indicates the
discharge status. Battery packs can be inserted in either direction, as
the Flatline is non-polarized.
Designed and built in the USA, the Flatline is small (16.0 x 8.0 x
3.6cm), lightweight (4.45 oz.), and low cost. The Novak name ensures it
is a quality product. Multiple units can easily be stacked to minimize
space in the pit area thanks to the included, easy-to-install posts that
have locking tabs to hold the trays together.
Each Flatline includes 4 posts with locking tabs for stacking trays.
The Flatline uses the same high quality spring clips as the Novak
Smart Tray. The spring clips allow convenient battery storage and
allows you to travel with battery packs securely held in place.
