You state : "Then charge them SLOWLY (still separately, say no more than 1A), up to 100%."In your case I would do the following:
Stop all charging, and use the batteries untill you get to a low voltage (below 3v per cell).
Then charge the batteries separately with a decent amperage up to about 80-90% SOC (3.4v per cell). Then charge them SLOWLY (still separately, say no more than 1A), up to 100%. This slower charging at the top should allow the balance current to keep up with the charge current. I'm not sure what the balance current on the SOK is, but maybe you will need to go even lower on the charge current.
Then you state: "This slower charging at the top should allow the balance current to keep up with the charge current."
If you are charging the batteries (do you mean cells) separately, how is it even possible to have a balance current.
I must be misunderstanding what you say ?
