Stone are you charging with 240 vac or 115?
Try swapping them once to see how it works for you. IF you have 115 available, I hear that overseas they don't do the goofy split phase shit us yanks do !
Otherwise a 240 charge should work. Instead of 80 percent,try starting at 85 or 90 percent, that way it throws a little juice into them and goes immediately into balance mode, and gives you a bit more of that 'hour' claimed.... balancing.
Honestly though my bike starts balancing whenever . today it started at 86 percent, and keeps the charge current at full bore until it gets up into the high 90's then trickles it down, then it hits 100 percent, the bike pauses, the 100 percent charge screen comes on and the charger shuts off.
Not sure what causes the batteries to unbalance as much as they can, though TBH I was running stupid on the interstate today. WOT for about 4 miles straight, so im sure that had an affect on the balance as the batteries went to yellow and I was pulling some KW. I was also sitting straight up on the bike like a dogs dick sticking out so im sure that pulled an extra 10 kw of energy
I should try that, throw it on the charger right after a run like that and see when it starts balancing, and letting it set overnight and the batteries settle down and see how it reacts.
Given it's passive cooling I would be willing to put money on it and say the calls in the center of the battery pack are toasty, because they have to dissipate the heat thru the rest of them essentially, while the cells on the edges / outside are cooler because they have the case and airflow on it as a heat sink. Even if there are partitions in the pack to sink the batteries, it still has to carry that heat out of there, and unfortunately, one of the properties I have discovered working with Alumninum is, it's GREAT for picking up heat, shitty for getting rid of it for some reason. Brass / Copper are 10 X better,but expensive so I don't see them using that.
Given this, general chemistry, the hotter cells will have a higher voltage. That's the way it is. I would love to know the C rate a wot is pulling on them and the w/hr rating of each cell and it's C-rating each cell as per manu specs.
anyways... charging back up now after todays run.
