Thanks for the reply. This is what I am thinking also, just run it till it is at the cutoff point then charge to whatever the need is, use or storage.

Thanks again,

The 0601i is super easy to charge to a %'age. After batt is setup, just enter what you want in TCS and start the charge. Will stop at the %'age you selected

I've updated my 0610i's firmware and like watching it work while connected to my laptop. I have yet to find any added discharge capability. Not sure that happened with the v1.5 firmware upgrade.

Still a super charger with the potential to get even better thru furure upgrades.

Duster_360, Thanks for the reply. The discharge information was found in firmware update 1.6 listed here,

The discharge information can be found under store mode in the PDF file and Hyperion to their credit isn't billing it as an all out discharge but a function to get the battery down to store mode if needed. They even give an example of how long it would take to discharge a fully charged 5000mAh to 60% of 7 hours at 300mA. Take a look if ya get a second and let me know what ya think.

Thanks again,
