There has been an ongoing issue with keeping them balanced & I have been using a simple "brute force" shunt regulating method which in effect is a form of "top balancing".
Today though I had enough of the non-effectiveness of that approach and went back to my "analogue computer based balancer" which attempts to keep the batteries balanced at all stages of their charge.
I am much more satisfied with the outcome but this exercise did also point to the fact that I really have to consider this it not really a problem of balancing per se, it's more indicative that one of these batteries is on the way out.
And for something compleatly different, there's a little politics discussed too today, hence the "A bit of a chat." part of my title!
