Correct me if I 'm wrong, but I think the first cell of the pack has more work. I noticed of some dead lipo's that the IR of the first cell is often higher. Coincidence ?
And regarding LVC, I noticed too that at 3.4 LVC cut ( yeah I'm a soft guy with lipos ), the cell is actually stabilizing at 3.7 V approx. But If I'm doing spped runs and really sucking out the power of the lipo, it might go to 3.5 V approx.
this on my cheap hobbyking ESC with nanotech lipo 4S 5000 95C
unless you have an ESC that allows you to connect your batteries balance cables to it, it is impossible for the ESC to know the voltage of individual battery cells. The ESC can't tell the difference between two cells at 3.5 volts, or one at 3v and the other at 4v--both read as 7 volts. That's why it's a good idea to use a higher LVC.
The order the cells are connected shouldn't make any difference.
