You can argue with Trojan then, since you seem to know more than they do.
"Balancing is performed when a parallel group of cells reaches a specified threshold voltage corresponding to almost
100% state-of-charge (SOC). At that point, the highest-charged cells “bleed down” a small amount to enable the remaining groups of cells to “catch up.”
( ISTR 3 tons was able to see that "bleed down" on his monitor, but others will have to confirm)
"At a voltage threshold slightly higher than the balancing point, a current interrupting device (contactor or FET array) will
open, stopping any charging current from flowing.....
" Even after the charger is unplugged, the battery may not be ready for use until it is allowed to balance for
approximately 10 minutes.....
Note: Once a set of batteries have achieved a balanced condition, they should remain balanced through normal use and charging. In order to keep batteries in balance and avoid over-discharge,
***** ensure that batteries not in storage receive a full charge weekly*** "

What you stated in the post I responded to was this " I think the balancing can be observed on the Trimetric." now read my response again.
Even with the dropins that don't show individual cell voltages how do you know its truly taking place when all you see is pack voltages?
Copying and pasting shows your abailty to master computer functions but do you understand what you're pasting?
