My comment about the 2.6a is about the Novak smart tray. That tray discharges at 2.6a so you would still need a 30a discharger. It also only discharges to .9v instead of deadshorting them like some people recommend. However for everyone that recommends there is someone that will tell you deadshorting does more harm.

I think getting the INDI Reactor 30 to discharge the whole pack at one time (which has a cuttoff on it) and then get a tray that equilizes the batteries. Now you only have to decide if you want to deadshort it or not. I think getting the Reactor 30 with the INDI Zero Equalizer is probably one of the better choices. You should be able to get those for $70 all together.
