    I will be doing the load test again after the new busbars and nuts are installed as mentioned above, once I drive the car for a day or 2.

    Thanks for clarifying that as I was wondering why there was 3 different types for the same car and one even called “deluxe” kit which I believe is the one you have with the large square discharger. I saw a guy on youtube us a charger called ToolKitRC Ap200 to charge his batteries too. Anyhow, there is a local guy selling a Prolong but not the one with the square discharger, it only comes with the round charger and some wired and small black box. Hes asking $250. Is that a good deal or should I wait and try to find one with the discharger to have the all in one kit instead?

    That's a good price for charging....
    I'm not sure about the small box. I don't remember it. Maybe it's an older version???
    You'll have to check Prolongs page, perhaps ask them.
    Does it come with the wiring harness?? You certainly need that.

    You could leave the charger on for 4 or five hours after the charging has leveled off and is stable.
    That balances the pack. And let it sit for at least an hours after removing it.
    So it can cool off and all the blocks can settle/level off.

    Yes it comes with a wiring harness and the charger. So you say 250 is a good price? What about the discharge process?

    Yes, that's a good price.
    You'd have to check the Prolong page for the procedure of the bulb one.

    You charge first, it will cut off.
    Then discharge to the the higher voltage.
    They charge.
    They discharge to the middle voltage.
    Then charge
    Then discharge to the lowest voltage.
    Then the final charge.

    You should read their information.
