Hi Mark,

Yes, cells will deteriorate over time naturally anyway, I'm looking to see if I can quantify the difference. Lets say they will deteriorate 25% faster than only equalising to .9v, is the 30 seconds extra run time per run worth having to buy new cells sooner than you anticipate. Obviously which class of racing you do is important, anyone racing Mod will probably be ok with the reduced cell lifetime, people racing stock who don't need the run time may want to extend the life of thier cells depending on how much they are gaining but they also may want the extra run time to be further back on the discharge curve and have better voltage at the end of the run. If I can put an approximate number on it I think that will be helpful to people.
