Howardcone: The resistor would be between the pack ONLY while in the car, not on the charger were it would cause a false voltage reading. I would be putting them between two female connectors that then plug into the battery's on the car only. Them I'd just use a parallel balance board on the charger.
I would still not suggest using a resistor, seems like it is too complicated and over thinking this. KISS is a very good rule to do this by, also suggest looking up construction of LIPO packs. I bet 10 bucks not one single lipo manufacture that builds good batteries does this. 2p2s batteries are becoming very common and it if lipo manf were adding this alot of people would suggest it. it just adds an extra failure point.
You would also have to worry about a resistor burning out or something weird happening and damaging the bats in some way.
