Monster; select discharge and change current to 10 amp. See page 19 of the 308 manual. You won't have to change any of the other default settings on that menu.

Please take into account I know of multiple users that have had problems with this discharge setting. When cycling fully charged packs the internal temperature builds during the discharge and is believed to be the reason for charger failures after prolonged cycles. The external resistor banks greatly reduce the internal heat that the unit must dissipate as all that remains is the current flowing through the control circuitry and the fans do a good job with this heat.

tpc- the 4010 will dissipate 120 watts which translates to about 15 amps on a 2 cell
