When you say the novak smart tray takes forever, you are only suppose to use it for the last bit to equalise the cells as its only 3A. Use a discharger at 10-20A to discharge to cells to 1v each then use the smart tray to equalise them to 0.9v each.

They are a good bit of kit but they still take a while to discharge the pack.When you come off after a race its not unusual to have at least 1500 mah left in the pack. The DPD discharges at 30a but it is not a constant discharge it pulses for a few min then off for a few min to allow the cells to cool. having said that i am happy with mine

DPD pulses 30amp. it averages out to be 5amp discharge rate, then and equilization at 1amp.
