Hi guys sorry if this is a common question but i have just spent out a fair wack on some new batterys (un-matched) couldent warrent the extra cost on matched for the time being.

ok the question is once built whats the best break in methord if there is such a thing would you recomed i equalize them after build or charge first then equalize. or simply cycle them 3-4 times ect

i am at a loss as to which way would get me the best form my new cells and what the best charge settings are (info on my charger below)
