Corse-R, how many cycle did you do on your test? I heard people talking about auto charge feature such as in GMVis, Yokomo as well as Schulze charger will eventually push the cell above the limit.
Any feedback??
I did three runs with each charger, and allowing to cool off. I have heard some nasty of these 'magic modes' concretely with the GMVIS mode. It pushes too hard the cells and their life is severely affected.

A friend of mine let me to 'rematch' some RC2400 packs (7 packs) used with GMVIS to cycle, rematch and relabel with my TM4. The results were that magic mode killed the cells. With 42 cells cycled and rematched, I was able to construct only very good packs and 4 average packs, the rest was junk.

If you need good batteries, get good bateries and take care of them. Don't rely on these black magics.

For cycling and rematching I use the values given by Danny on the SMC website, it gives good results to me.
