How much faster is top balancing cells individually?

I'm just gonna take this opportunity to evangelize and spread the word that you do not need an active balancer to build then balance. I think it took me about 12 hours of balancing with 150mA passive.

This shows how the quality and balance straight out of the box has improved in just the last few years.
The top balance was far more important when the cells had inconsistent capacity and arrived randomly from 20% to 70% charged.

Yeah when I do the math I realize this is an impressively pre balanced result. But I'm not doing anything special nowadays just ordered from Ezeal, and not batched or anything afaik either, they were a mix spread across two different test report spreadsheets.
