Internal resistance can increase slightly in a cell and/or capacity could diminish. Either way, the voltage applied across the bank in series gets unevenly distributed among cells. This uneven energy distribution causes further degradation. At least that's how it works with smaller battery packs. I don't think this lithium chemistry would be immune to the same damages.Although, as previously stated, they can probably be run without a balancing circuit for a long time. Even if I only got another year of lifespan, I still think it would be worth a $40 balancing circuit.Also, is that a Skar ZVX hiding in the background?</blockquote>
