Oh and regarding bottom balance, I must have missed that and I do agree there.
Not that anyone should just blindly accept what I agree with as true of course, but that people should read the alternatives and seek to understand before choosing a course of action.
The only problem I have with bottom balancing is the rare situation with used cells where the capacity can vary by enough that you trip the overvoltage protection even with a fairly low series charge voltage. This would get annoying pretty quickly.
I'm actually debating switching to a bottom balance for my camper though since I rarely ever charge it past 13.6v anyways and they're close enough that it shouldn't be a problem. Future usage will dictate that choice later on.
