Why not just put the pack on the Octane 2 and drain each cell till the light for that particular goes out.
Because it doesn't cut off automatically. If you don't unscrew each cell as the buld goes out you can over discharge them. I don't know about you, but I don't have time when I'm in the pits to babysit my discharge tray while I'm working on all my other stuff.
