Why so low? I mean you discharge them in your vehicle at way higher than 1C. Just curious.
Anyway, I usually just discharge them by running them in my vehicle, then charge them up to half the capacity. So, if they are 5Ah packs, I put 2.5Ah back into them. If this is not feasible, then I just discharge them via a resistor load until they get to ~3.7v/cell under load. Once I remove the load, they usually rebound back up to ~3.8v/cell. Of course, I have to watch this process, but I'm usually at my bench anyway...
