Gotshocked!

My 6 lifepo4's weren't balanced. 1 battery was way out of whack, like 20% off the rest. This was after 5 months of smooth sailing through fall and winter.
Sig Solar says to cycle them. I did this, got them down to 17% (I'm set to go to 10%) then used the grid to bring them up to 99%. Everything was good for about 3 weeks, then lucky #2 battery started wandering again.
Sig Solar wants me to cycle these things up and down for 2 weeks. How exactly do I do this, turn off the pv's and just turn everything on in the house? This sounds stupid, so there must be more to it. I do not use a ton of power daily, so it would take maybe 3-4 days to get these things down to 20% or lower.
I don't see how I can do this every day for two weeks.
