e-Electric Batteries & Chargers > Cell lost voltage...

I couldn't remember if I had charged my Kong Power 3S 2200 25C after flying last week, so stuck it back on the charger (Cellpro 4S) this morning. The first two cells were fully charged (4.2v), but the third cell was only 4.02v. I clearly must have charged it last week since two of the cells were fully charged. I always look at the cell voltage and mah's put back in, so I assume the 3rd cell must have been 4.2 after the last charge. What would cause it to drop voltage like that while sitting for 5 days? The Cellpro 4S is diligently working away balancing and charging the 3rd cell right now (very very slowly -- charging at about .15amp). Should I be concerned? Is this just a fluke?

That is very little, Think about charging when we didn't have any balancers.

Ok, this is just the first time I have seen them more than .05 or so out of balance, so it caught my eye.

Is the cellpro a balance caharger or a bleed balance type charger?

It is a balance charger, i.e. it charges through the balance plug and keeps cells in balance as it is charging. In this case it slowly charged just that cell up until it caught up with the others.
