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*** "
