  Blind Batteries

  Jan 2003 - Jan 2008

  Owner

  I ran a small import/export business for radio control cars. My product was importing individual high power NiMH battery cells from China, using special equipment I designed to test them for internal resistance and voltage drop while under a load, and then assembling together matched sets with a 'dyno' chart printout of their performance. Sales were online from my website and eBay, as well as in person at race events all over California.
