Default Battery discharger.

Hi guys I currently have a team much more cell master and I use the discharger function to discharge my battery. So is it enough or I need to get a standalone discharger. Which is better? Thanks.

im not familiar with the discharge function of that charger but if it cuts off at .9v per cell @ 20 to 30 amp discharge, that's fine, no need for a separate discharger. although i would add an external fan to help cool down the charger during discharge (and battery )

are you using side by side or saddle packs? i suggest getting a discharge tray to equalize your packs if your using nimh cells, get a tray with individual cutoff to prevent over-discharging your cells

Discharge functions on a charger don't exactly equalize the cell as good as a proper discharge/equalizer tray.
