Most of this is starting to make sense. But just in case anyone else tries to follow, let me quickly summarize the whole point. The point of all this discussion about this charger, in this thread, is that it could make the whole process much more efficient and effective than what you can do with the Super Brain.

It takes a long time to cycle every stick in the Insight pack. It took me almost 2 weeks. Really tedious. With the Super Brain you kind of have to pay so much attention to what's going on that it's annoying, but not enough that it's interesting. You have to check-in every so often, move connections, write down results, etc. It's a serious pain. It would almost be worth buying 2 Super Brains to cut all this in half. BUT, if this CellPro 8, or PowerLab, or whatever it is, can do at least 2 sticks at a time, plus log/export data to a spreadsheet, it'd probably be worth the extra cost. Doing 2 sticks at a time (at the least) and logging - it'd be worth maybe ~$300 to me...

One advantage, if I understand correctly, is that understanding the condition of your pack or sticks pretty much requires seeing graphs of how each stick behaves, the voltage change, when charging and discharging, comparing the graphs of each stick. Pretty sure the CellPro allows logging and exporting such data.

Now, again if I correctly understand what Ian is trying to drum into my meaty head, it sounds like you can do at least 2 sticks with a single CellPro the same way, or in a similar manner, as the SuperBrain does one... Seems like there might be a few different choices, and a few different limits.

I'm gonna have to look at the manual, because at this point I just have too many questions...
