I always thought the PN discharge trays went to .9 volts per cell but the specs on Kenon say its .7v. Either way they work really good and bring the pack of 4 AAA's down so they can take a full charge of 850-900ma. When I put the pack on the charger they start at about 4.8v which is about 1.2 volts per cell average and is usually where you want Nimh batteries to rest or store at.

I've had the best results leaving the pack in the discharger anywhere from 2 hours to overnite but you can just go till the lights go out.

Some chargers have discharge capability and I would set the cutoff at around .9 per cell or 3.6 volts for the pack.

Some guys don't ever discharge their packs and have great results anyway.
