Default Battery Charging Questions...>>>

I have a new (only charged 6 maybe 7 times) 3300 batt pack. In all previous charges, the pack would see upper 8 volt reading when completed. It has swung over 9, but for the most part has been in the 8.75 range.

The battery pack (and car) has sat for a week or 2. Now trying to charge that pack it will only get 8.08 - 8.10 volts. Also one of the center cells seems to be a little hotter (roughly 10-12 degrees on the Raytek) than the rest.

Could this one cell be bad already? I am a newby to electrics, and I just wanted some opinions of more experienced hobbists on this one.

My LHS will gladly check that pack and all that, it's just that I'd like to hear some thoughts prior to taking it in and having it checked.

Thanks in advance.
