The thing about it is, that with deadshorting you will see an increase in voltage, and lower IR, but the trade off is a lot less runtime. If you tray the pack the right way, not as much peak voltage, but the average voltage is better, because it has more runtime, and holds it through the curve better. In the end, they will perform about the same, but the deadshorted pack will have less runtime. Also, with the integy tray, the pack isnt truly equalized until deadshort. The tekin tray is the same way, its not really equalized until they all get down to the .5 cutoff, which is still not good.
