About this manual

The Futaba BR-3000 is a device designed to check the state of various battery packs used as power sources for R/C receivers. It displays total voltage, remaining capacity based on specific criteria, and individual cell voltages depending on the connected battery type.

For lithium battery packs (LiFe, LiPo, Li-Ion), the unit can display total voltage, remaining capacity, minimum/maximum cell voltage, and cell voltage difference. For nickel cadmium or nickel metal hydride packs, it displays total voltage and remaining capacity but cannot show individual cell data.
