Discharging to the other channel is much easier and allows you to retain functionality like cycling without removing the discharge bank.
I can see why
Quantum is skeptical about this feature, from what I gathered, he wants to know if he can do high amp discharge with a resister inline with the battery on one channel while charging another pack on the other channel. From the manual, it seems like if you enable extra discharge mode you can use a resister inline to perform high amp discharge on the channel so theoretically the DX8 should be able to do high amp discharge with 1 channel and charge with the other. But I have never seen/heard anyone do that with any of the old DUO chargers before.
Maybe as you said, you can easily have the one channel discharge into the other so the extra discharge mode isnt needed. But some people might have different needs/are on a time crunch and want/need to do both high amp discharge and charge at the same time. I guess
Quantum can be the first to try and public report back if it works or not.
