Mark,

How would the average user (me) use this load? Why would I need to? Doesn't the charger have a way to discharge batteries prior to recharging them?

My other chargers are basically each stand alone devices and as far as smarts go, what you see is what you get; some are better than others. I was ass-u-ming Paul's would be simila...
