Should you have to balance them? During our testing batteries that tended to go out of balance with use also tended to loose up to 30% capacity quickly with mod BL motors especially if you use the 100% DOD…. Even if we balanced them fairly regularly, some every cycle. Sorta reduces the easy handling, drop and go usability that makes them popular.
Is it worth more if you do not have to balance them? Do you think it is also a measure of expected battery life and quality?
