Default Battery cycleing

I have a Jeti mini Peak charger that I got with my wingo. It discharges the flight pack then charges it up. Can I use it to cycle my Futaba 4ch flight pack and Tx batteries. Dont have the money to buy a battery cycler.
Thanks.

Default Battery cycleing

Tower Hobbies, and I suspect some other web sites, have a small tool called a Gecko that discharges batteries to a certain level so that they can be recharged. I don't recall the cost right now but I think it's about 10 or 12 bucks. It takes some time but will not discharge the batteries too far. Might be a good investment to keep from establishing a memory in your nicads.
