About this product
ShortSaver 2 is an electronic fuse that sits between the battery and the build during the first power-up, limiting current and signalling when something is shorted. It is a test tool for new builds and post-repair checks, not a limiter you leave inline for flight. Maximum cell count and current rating are not spelled out on this page, so confirm them with the seller before relying on it for a 6S or 12S build.

Pros & cons
Pros
- Catches a wiring short before it turns a new build into a burnt board
- Small enough to live in the tool box and reuse on every new aircraft
- Gives a clear signal instead of letting the pack dump current silently
Cons
- It is a test tool, so do not fly with it inline
- Cell count and current limits are not stated on the page
- Only useful if you actually remember to fit it before the first power-up
