For those racers losing capacity on there GP cells, how are they maintaining them?

I was advised by Big Jim that if you leave a partial charge on the packs like the Panasonic Team that he spoke with when the original Nimh's came out recommended you will loose runtime. he recommends discharging the cells to at least 5.4V for stick packs.

I right now discharge my cells with an Octane 2, and equalize them before I charge them up.

My runtime has pretty much stayed at about 3700mah on my GPs.
