For long term storage, you should bring them down equalized to .9v per cell and un solder the battery bars.
On the Rayspeed tray, conditioning is just a 1 amp discharge to .9v per cell instead of 5 amp. You use this to bring the cells down a little more gradually. It makes each cells voltage bounce a little more equal.
On the shrink wrap, that's very interesting. Not what I heard but who knows? As far as I know, GP sends all matchers the same cells. Some matchers get private label shrink wrap but they are still the same cells. They even state on their website that they don't do cells for specific matchers.

racer-oZ - thanks for the support! Runtime varies with cells so I suggest you give speedtech a call or write them email and I'm sure they'll work with you. www.speedtechrc.com is their website.
Happy Racing!
