Arduino Shield to test 1-3S LiPo´s

There are KiCad Files (for 4.0.2) and the Arduino Programm here!

This shield has large resistors switched by mosfets, that gives the possibilty to change the load to the connected cells.

It is based on my prototype from here: http://www.designer2k2.at/mods/arduino/70-battery-tester

Questions

How big is the BatteryTester PCB?

It measures 68.6 × 53.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the BatteryTester use?

24 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the BatteryTester KiCad files?

From the designer2k2/BatteryTester repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is BatteryTester.kicad_pcb and its schematic BatteryTester.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the BatteryTester design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
