Exact same issue on one I wired up this evening. Cell 1 at 1.85 V, Cells 2 and 3 at 3.7. I soldered the balance wires directly to the board, no room for the connector in that BRD squonker. After I had it all done, hooked it up to Escribe and upgraded firmware, then looked at the monitor. Battery pack indicating 9.3 volts. So I unplugged it and took it back to the soldering station and hit each spot with the iron again holding the wire down with one of the tools. Hooked it back up, still the same. One more try adding a spot of solder to the #1 spot on the back side, no change. Oh, and I metered it in between the solder jobs and have a nice 3.7V on all three cells and 11.1 for the pack each time, front and back (ie - the pads, not the wires from the battery). Think there's an issue with the metering on the board, seeking guidance.
