This is why it's advisable to be able for individual cell monitoring not just the battery as a whole.
I had originally considered building a battery, but once you factor in the BMS the overall cost savings wasn't enough to offset the additional effort required to put it all together. If I could get quality cells for like $100 each and a decent BMS for around $100, then it would definitely be worth the effort to go that route.
