William I have wondered about this as well, why don't they just make a big 1110 AH cell? Which as you point out would be less caps to feed and less chance of cell imbalance as well. I do like 2V cells over 6V but this question bothers me.

They each have 3 cells, I presume in parallel. The question presents: Although you can divide the strings by three, there are still an equal number of batteries and cells to maintain and to get out of whack. Will these batteries be equally likely or less likely to have cell imbalances in the future? The only benefit I see is a reduction in string wiring jumpers. Comments? Thanks in advance.
