I never discharge my little packs, I just let them cool and recharge and they still have tons of power.

I discharge with 2 1157 taillight bulbs in a series, and watch them until they start to dim, and then put on Tekin battery doctor. works really well.

drive the car until the battery runs out or you can buy a charger that discharges batteries also
