Fully charged they read: Cell 1 4.21 v Cell 2 4.07 v Cell 3 4.04 v I should also mention that my batteries are wrapped with electrical tape, they wouldnt make contact when wrapped. I think what is happening is cells 1 and 3 (the back ones) aren't getting the best connectivity. I didn't get a chance to mark the odd battery out last time (WAS in cell 2) but I assume it's now in cell 1. I won't know if I'm correct until I try another charge, if 1 and 3 lag behind again I think it's safe to assume that's it. One more question I'd have is how I can wrap these batteries WITHOUT messing up the connection, as chamber on the reuleaux is really tight, paper maybe?

Ok, so I got them all charged up individually and my meter read 100%, but after trying to charge them via usb again they've returned to the same state. The meter won't charge higher than 43% and the batteries are out of balance again: 1: 3.62 v 2: 4.2 v 3 3.83 v Why?! Is this an issue with my battery meter, usb charging, or the batteries themselves.

Thanks good to know, I'll get them all balanced with another charger. Know where I can find out which batteries will give me the full continuous discharge rate? It'd only be 23 amps max vs the 20 i have though so watts would have to be really high (like 150 at least) to make the difference...correct?

So I just got my first DNA 200 a few days ago(Reuleaux). Everything is more or less ok but after charging via usb cable in an a/c adapter(is this acceptable?) I noticed it had quit charging at about halfway. I attached the device to escribe to see what was going on and the cells are reading as follows... Pack: 11.73 v Cell 1: 4.20 v Cell 2: 3.90 v Cell 3: 3.68 v Now I haven't got any messages about batter imbalance and the device is still working fine. My batteries are Efest 3000mah 35amp, all brand new. I was hoping someone could explain to me what I should do to get the batteries balanced and get my meter showing the correct charge, assuming that this amount of charge is well above the half it's showing (is it?). Obviously I am a complete noob to the DNA 200, I'm assuming I need discharge profiles for the batteries I have or something but i don't really know where to start. Any help would be much appreciated.
