Yes you can discharge 4 cells - use them all the way to the right on the tray.
I have my bars and wires on the packs and just have to load it right and it works just fine. Like that I do not have to stand over it watching it.
I love the disclaimer about the dead shorting from novak - a good way to cover their but.
I like the tray much better than my trinity I have. Do not use the dead short due to running stock 1/12 scale but a friend has used it and says that he can tell a difference in the packs and punch.
I got mine for $75 form local hobby shop.
For the technology deeper than just what it does is quite remarkable and for the price a good value.
Give it a try.....

What do you guys think. Is it worth the money? ($95-105). What are the positive effects of discharging and equalizing each cell individually. Will the pack have more runt time, will this increase life expectancy, does this decrease internal resistance.
Batteries are a big investment. I counted my 3300 packs I bought in the last 5 months (12 @ 65 avg cost = $780.) My wife would blow her freakin top if she knew how much these C cells cost. I willing to make the investment to preserve and care for this investment - if it's worth it.

Integy has an "indi zero-thirty" discharge tray. Is this comparable to the rayspeed and novak smart tray. It looks like it discharges each cell at 30A ... any comments. Has anyone tried one yet?
