Thanks, it's really strange because during balance charging at one point they were all the same voltage. It wasn't until one got to 3.6 and the charge current dropped, the voltages dropped a bit.If the cells have never been top balanced, you could be waiting almost forever for your charger to balance them out at a measly 0.3A. You are probably better off disassembling the battery and reconfiguring the bus bars so all the cells are in parallel, then putting your charger back on and charging them as a 1S single cell up to 3.6V.
After that, with them all at the same state of charge, they can go back into their 4S configuration and future charges will only need a very brief balancing stage at the end.
It seems like they display higher voltages when the charge current is high.
Another thing is happening that I don't understand - when I charge 1 individual cell, the voltage shoots up to 3.6v instantly and the charge current drops to 0.5 amps. I can't get it to go any higher. I think this is something to do with the hobby charger because my other hobby charger does the exact same thing
