I would say when done running them let them cool then discharge at 30 amps then put them on a smart tray or balancing device and drain the cells to .9 for each cell that way you know that they are all down to the same voltage. but if you get any ep packs do not discharge them right when you get done running them they discharge themselves, but before you use them discharge them at 30 amps and then smart tray them, then you can charge them because If you discharge the ep's right a way you can damage the cells
