Update on my pack cycling progress. I got my Superbrain issues squared away, the vendor I purchased mine from was very helpful and promptly sent out a new power supply. I got the battery out of the car and disassembled on Friday night and started cycling subpacks Saturday morning. So far I've run six subpacks and the seventh is in process right now. The subpacks have returned capacities ranging from 6,252-6,806mah. A few questions for anyone who has any insight (no pun intended...ok maybe somewhat intended LOL)

A: Some of the subpacks had excellent capacity after just one cycling. One was 6,747mah, another 6,806mah. Is it still worth running those subpacks through some additional cycles? Since my weakest one so far was 6,252mah, and that after four cyclings, would any additional capacity I can coax out of the stronger subpacks be essentially useless?

B. Has anyone else found that the Superbrain is not capable of sustaining the 10 amp discharge rate recommended for cycling? On mine I can start a discharge cycle at 10 amps but the internal temperature regulating software seems to reduce it to about 5.3 amps after a few minutes. The internal fan on the Superbrain works and I have a fan blowing on the unit as well.
