Default lipo

hey guys, i got a couple lipos in the other day, some receiver packs, some for short course, and one starter box lipo. anyway, one of the short coarse lipos is giving me fits kinda. i charge it up. but the cells are like 3.80 and the other is 3.92(didnt fully charge it). im fully discharging it right now to try to get them closer. the cell is not swollen. is this something to worry about?

yes because if they get to un balanced one cell will go bad and if your running above 3s or more the battery should be balanced every charge takes about 5 minutes longer but makes each cell balanced to equal volts

Yeah, let your charger see what it can do to balance the cells out. If there is a prob, you'll know it by the long time it is taking. Right now, I'm not sure there is a prob since you didn't try to fully charge it.
