Since you have the clutch switch you could do a poor man's discharge cycle if you wanted to. Charge for 24hr, then run the car around using max assist but don't allow the car to regen, and take the battery all the way down to 1/20 bars, then recharge again. Not sure how effective vs a real discharge but yea. I know discharging makes a difference, I sure noticed improved battery life when I did my charge/discharge cycle (I have an actual discharge kit though).
