I was using the 'stabilize' strategy at first, but it wasn't very consistent, or easy or clear to decide when the current had stabilized... So I switched to 1 minute. It may matter whether you're using a high or low discharge rate. At first I was using 10 amps and sometimes it took a while for the level to stabilize, and/or the readout jumped around a lot nearing the top end... It wasn't that bad at only 3.5 amps...
