I spent a few days reading and learningand plan on taking baby steps on my first project.
Discharge tests TAKE forever!!
It does take time. I use 3 x OPUSs on my office deskand process 12cells / day using 500ma discharge. That's over 200days to process the 2500 cells I need for my latestpair of14s88p batteries made from RING packs. For me, I don't mind doing this a bit each day as the cells need to set and then building the packs takes time and I have to buy the cells over time.... so I do it in parallel /slow motion. However,after a couple of years of slow and steadyI'm nearing 10,000 cells (108kwhbattery bank).
BUT I understand, to speed things up that's why people build charge/discharge stations of 5 or 10 or 20 OPUSs or mega chargers etc. And 1000ma discharge is faster but my OPUSs would overheat so I went 500ma because I didn't understand in the early days about cooling them properlyand now I stick with it for consistency.
You don't say your goals / timeline but you can extrapolate after you do your first X cells / get a process down... and then see what you need to do.
