With a charge rate of 0.5A the CellPro might be in the safety charge mode.One cell might be too far out of balance so it tries to balance them up at a low rate.
You also need to check the balancer taps on your batteries. If the female connector on the tap is of too large a diameter the it doesn't make a good connection with the male connector on the CellPro. A loose conection leads to problems with the "brain" of the CellPro. A problem I have with a loose connection is: take for example a 4 cell battery with a voltage difference of 2V per cell. With a loose connector the CellPro will read Cell 1=2v,Cell 2=2v,Cell 3=4v. This usually gives me an ERROR 28 but I suppose it could go into the safety charge mode.
You might need to remove the wire connectors from the plastic tap case and crimp the female connectors to make them narrower. Too narrow and you won't be able to plug the tap into the CellPro.
Also make sure that one or more of the wires on the tap has not backed out of the plastic tap case.
