Any ideas or tricks to kick this pack back into shape? Battery has no puffing.
I think that means one of the cells is a little funky if it only happens with the Protek shorty. If they keep discharging to uneven voltages I would contact Protek/Amain and see if they can help you out. I've seen certain packs over time take a while to balance though they usually always discharge at an even rate.
