Hello: Nobody answered my question The whole reason I need to balance my

recharge . I've discharged the batteries a number of times but, they

bounce back to about 2.51-2.53 volts . Do they need to ALL be exactly 2.5
volts before recharging?
Hi John,
When the batteries reach anything close to 2.5v, they are effectively
dead -- no useful capacity remains. It doesn't matter whether they're at
2.5v or 2.6v -- they're still DEAD!
I don't recall what current the Orion uses to balance, but I think it is
pretty small (milliamps). It may be that your batteries have aged to the
point where the differences between them are too large to balance with a
small current.
