Anyone have experience with this discharger? It has good reviews on Amazon but wanted to get “trusted” opinions.

Also, these appear to be the same except the $5 difference....do you agree?

These dischargers work great. You can balance discharge lipo's to a given voltage.

Awesome! I’m gonna pick it up then. Thank you. Do you have a recommendation for an IR meter?

Side note, we used to use light bulbs as current limiters on our EDM machines back in the day.

You're welcome!
My charger has an IR meter, i have no experience with seperate ones.
What are EDM machines?

Electrical Discharge Machining.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_discharge_machining

Electrical discharge machining is a machining method primarily used for hard metals or those that would be very difficult to machine with traditional techniques. EDM typically works with materials that are electrically conductive, although methods have also been proposed for using EDM to machine insulating ceramics[8][9]. EDM can cut intricate contours or cavities in pre-hardened steel without the need for heat treatment to soften and re-harden them. This method can be used with any other metal or metal alloy such as titanium, hastelloy, kovar, and inconel. Also, applications of this process to shape polycrystalline diamondtools have been reported.[10]
