Lipo question
#1
I just got a used revtech trinity lipo. It's a 6000 60c hard case. First thing I did with it was use store it on Hyperion charger. Problem is it is taking forever to finish storing. I have roughly let it go for 3 hours so far and it still isn't finished. Right now it's at 7.789. But one cell is at 3.84 and the other is at 3.94. Should I just let it keep storing? The battery may feel very slightly puffy or it may be just the case I can't tell.

Good call on suspending for the night.
That is a significant imbalance at that level of charge, will be interesting to see how it responds as you cycle it. Seems it either was poorly maintained by the previous owner or has a weak cell.
Certainly keep monitoring cell voltages as you have been.

update. I have been storing the battery now for 120 minutes. The voltage per cell now is 3.85 for one and 3.91 for the other. Its been this way for 45 minutes now. Is this still to far imbalance?.
