-<p>Our mini electronics all-in-one box for LoTHR (so people in LoTHR don't have to walk all the way to TESLA for the quick and small stuff), got an upgrade.</p>
-<p>The previously empty top slot now features an XY-FZ35 programmable electronic load. Test your power supply, test your batteries capacity, draw a discharge graph, use it in ways not intended by it's makers. (But if you break or brick it, You Replace And Fix It ASAP!)</p>
-<p>The tiny cut-out on the top left of the load, features a mini-USB jack where we put an USB serial-TTL converter connected to the GND,TX,RX pins of the load. Using the easy command-set you can indeed periodically poll your batteries discharge rate, voltage on so on.</p>
-<p>But even without USB, the thing is pretty nifty and allows you to set a limit on the amount of mAh to draw, or to stop after a specified time, and so on.</p>
