I am curious as to how you are able to leave packs deadshorted for days at a time.

I have since let the packs sit deadshorted till they get pretty warm and then unsoldered the wire. I still have noticed a large increase in punch, but I'm wondering what I'm doing that i shouldn't or not doing.
Brian - What tray? Did you check the voltage before shorting them? They probably weren't sucked down low enough to be shorted.
