    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.
