You keep talking about "weak" cells. The OE modules were tested when new to have the same high capacity and low effective resistance. Their cells...
Percentage of battery (cell in this discussion) capacity. JeffD
The imbalance problem is usually not cells with lower capacity, it is cells at a lower State of Charge (SOC) than the other cells in each module....
Where does the excess current go? The continued low level charging current will be dissipated as heat in the fully charged cells and in the...
