do i need a battery/cell conditioner?

i have looked as far on the internet i can but i just cant find any info on battery conditioners and what they do, so can some very intelligent "tech guy" tell me what there purpose is and if they do much benefit.

thanks once again.

I use this to discharge and condition my packs, then take them down to 0.9V with a Novak Smart Tray. Anywho, the Spintec seems nice and discharges at 35 amps, but does take awhile to discharge a fully or nearly charged pack.

:o I missed the above out from my post.

But the graphs show the theory behind out of balance cells whether ni-cd's or ni-mh's
