Watch what packs do it & if it is always the same pack.
The internal resistance might be going up in them.

So far this is only happening to me on smaller 2s packs.
To be honest, I haven't noticed the problem since I started using a decent hobby style power supply.

If I see the charger sitting on .01 charge rate for too long I stop the charge and check it with my stand alone balancer, the balance has been good each time I have done this.

Some of what you're seeing otherwise is prob age related, I haven't seen complaints about the Quattro having inherent balance issues. If it does this with a good lipo, then I'd suspect the charger may have a prob.
Does it happen in all 4 ports?
I haven't taken the time to determine any tendencies that may have to do with the charger or it ports. In the coming weeks ahead I will try to determine if it is charger or battery related, right now I am thinking battery.
