I agree, it works fine (when you know how to use it) and is safe on a handfull of small Ahr cells at a time.

My charger would allow him to "overcharge" the whole pack at once to equalize then he could procede to use the Superbrain to do individual cells.

Usually a good slow "slight" overcharge or 2 (with a discharge) will mostly bring back a honda pack.
