Default question about discharger for 5-cell RX pack

Hello,
I am looking for some advice or guidance. I am looking for a discharger for a 5 cell RX pack. I have a Gecko Keeper discharger for 6/7 cells, but I'm afraid using it on a 5-cell pack would be a bad idea.

Questions:
can I use the 6/7 cell discharger on a 5 cell rx pack?
is there someone who sells a 5 cell rx discharger nice and cheap.

I run nitros so I don't want to spend the money on a high-end peak charger and conditioner. I'd just like to get a cheap little discharger.

Thanks

This says it is compatible with a 5 cell RX Pack....

Friendly FYI, I found it on Google in 15 seconds. You got to love the search engine.

I use a single tail/stop lamp automotive bulb with a couple of wires soldered to the base. It pulls 2 amps and i simply hook it up and let it run until only one element is glowing and about to go out. I only need to use it if an RX pack has been sitting for a while without use.
