Looks like my weak cell which won't balance and is considerably higher resistance than the other, isn't considered defective according to hobby king.

"During the first 5 to 10 cycles it is normal for there to be an imbalance and also less power due to the storage chemical in the cells. Lipo batteries require a break in period and during this time the storage chemical will break down and the cells will balance better and make more power. You should put minimal load on the battery and only discharge around half way during this time. Please put more cycles on as I described and see if it improves. In order for the battery to be covered under warranty the imbalance would have to be .245 volts or greater."
