Default 3300 Longevity

I have only had my Fukuyama cells for about 2 months so it's too early to tell, but my other branded 3300's have not lasted very long. 1 pack I have had since October and last night when discharging it I noticed one of the cells has gone bad. While sitting on a tray (with voltage cutoff feature) I checked the voltage of the cells and all had equalized except for one of them which read .06 volts. Another pack I've had since last August has a cell in it that appears to be on the verge of doing the same thing.

I've got one of the new Novak dischargers on order and am going to start using it before the first charge of the day as earlier suggested, but I was wondering if any of the guys from Fukuyama have any thoughts on how long these 3300's should be lasting. I never run my packs more than twice a day, always make sure they are completely cooled before recharging and use an LRP charger.

Thanks for any input!
