Default Lipo Quesition

I run a Reedy 5100 saddle pack n my b44 on race day n run it 4 to 5 times on race day , I went to balance it with my dualsky meter/balancer and 1 cell was at 369 n th other was at 355 . I thought that was a lil to far off bcuz they r never more then just a few apart , anywas i balanced charged it n it is now at 410 n 420 . My quesition is do u think ive hurt this pack or should i just leave my balacer hooked up n see if they balance ?

Double check the voltages with a multimeter , assume the balancer left and right internal meters are not correct.. Rule that out first IMO.

The voltage from the balancer on your charger shouldn't be that far off - if it was, you'd risk overcharging your lipos.

If you've been running these 4 and 5 times a day for a while, it doesn't take long to run up a few hundred cycles. This may be age related, if they don't have that many cycles on them, then its something else. How are you storing them between races, weekend to weekend?
