I have a novak smart tray and pro trak (20 amp discharge) and also a futaba cdr5000 (35 amp discharge) im guessing i should take the pack down to 6v on the pro trak or futaba as i think my usual 5.4v might be a little risky with the ib's and then equalize to 0.9 on the smart tray, but would welcome any other tips

thanks
The Spintec is better than the 'hard discharge', you could always keep an eye on it and just take it off at your desired pack voltage, then finish it off on the Smart Tray.
