most chargers out there have an adjustable discharge cut off as mentioned in the other post like the hyperions have a store mode and my ice and check point also have an adjustable cutoff voltage (i think its like 3.0-3.8 per cell or something like that) just set the voltage cut off kind of high to be on the safe side to be honest its much safer to discharge you packs on a balance charger like the hyperion because it reads the voltage of each individual cell and stops the discharge if one cell gets too low your car wont do that and as we see here neither will a light bulb
