| Are you guys following the 80% rule? I know you dont have to with these packs but remember usually you are overdischarging them on every flight, which means you are flying until the power drops and landing which is OK, but just remember it takes a little more to balance the cells after you fly them that way. I found that the # 2 cell in the 3S pack is the one that requires the most balancing. It heats up the fastest during the disharge cycle because it is surrounded by the other 2 cells on either side. It doesent have any surface area exposed for cooling plus its absorbing the heat that the other 2 cells are putting out. The more a cell heats up the less internal resistance it has so it will discharge faster than the other 2 cells. Now when you put it on the charger and balancer your outer cells will charge up faster so your balancer will usually bleed off the outer cells while its waiting for the middle cell to catch up. Hope this helps...
