Equalizing batteries is a process designed to de-sulphate lead acidbattery
plates by carrying out a controlled overcharge. Battery plates tend to acquire
a sulphate coating over time which then hinders the chemical action between the
electrolyte and the plate. By equalizing the battery in this controlled
overcharge the outer layer of the plate, including the sulphate coating, is
blown off, thereby rejuvenating the battery and allowing all the surface area
of the plates to interact with the electrolyte. It also causes the electrolyte
to bubble and in wet cell batteries this mixes up the acid and distributes it
evenly throughout the cell. There is no equivalent process inside a lithium Ion
battery. Holding a Lithium battery above it's OCV for long periods of time is
damaging to the cells.

To get balance closer, best to equalize in parallel while on the high
voltage tail. I would think something around 3.45 for LFP. Certainly,
equalizing will be a very good step in the right direction no matter the
voltage.
