Default Best Charger/Discharger

Hi All,

I am having some ongoing cell issues and am wondering if it may be down to how I charge or what I use.

My present kit is:

Orion Advantage Charger
Novak Smart Tray SE Discharger

I charge at 4A, discharge at 10A and sometimes use the "hold voltage" on the smart tray, sometimes not.

If I am not using the cells I tend to discharge/equalize once a week then charge back up to 1500mah (I store at 1500 mah).

Am I doing anything wrong here, or are there better charging/discharging/equalizing options, because I am having a nightmare time with cells!

Oh, and I use IB4200 cells, mainly Orion!

Dave
