RE: help cycling RX pack
Popriv - a .5 amp discharge load is good. The load really isn't crucial, but as you've seen you'll get a slightly higher number for your capacity by going with a lower load. That's because the charger terminates the discharge when the pack reaches the preset threshold under load. The more load you have, the more capacity it will have left when it reaches that threshold. The important thing is to be sure that you use the same load every time in order to have meaningful numbers for comparison, and that the numbers are fairly close to each other when doing your initial forming charges and cycles.
