This is what i do.... After the race take the battery out and discharge it on a turbo35 or GFX or something that can discharge at 30 amps. I use a Rayspeed Discharging tray, and they are the best and most recomended at the track I race at. Back onto what I do... After it is done discharging, hit 30 amp discharge again..... Then you want to tray it.... And on the rayspeed you can actually discharge AND equalize/condition! With the rayspeed you want to discharge it on the discharge slot first and keep doing it until all the lights go off at the same time so the cells are mached.... Then immediately switch it to equalize/condition... After that is done, I deadshort my batteries if I am running touring stock, dont dead short and just put away with touring mod (just what u should do). Basically, if you want MORE runtime DONT deadshort.... IF you want MORE VOLTAGE dead short.... I am done preaching...
