cutoff is at 5.4v. after the Batman has finished. you can store your batteries. equalize it when you are gonna use them again. its not really necessary to equalize your batteries just to store them. (albeit im not sure what is happening in your situation).

if you are NOT gonna use your batteries for more than a week. the recommendation is to put back 500mah back into the batteries and store it that way.

so.. if you used them today..and you are gonna race on saturday. discharge on the batman. then store.

if you are not going to use it until December. (two weeks away). then you put 500mah charge back into the battery and store. hope that helps.
