Chargers and batterys are not 100% efficient, it is normal for the charger to try to put in more MAH than the pack has capacity for by up to 20% even for NiCad and NiMh that don't need balancing, your buddies battery will probably only give out 3500mah if that, his pack is buggered, do either of your chargers have a discharge mode? if you charge it up then discharge it the discharger will tell you how many MAH the pack will actually give.

.32V yeah that's a LONG way out, I'd be worried about the cell that was .1V out if the other one wasn't even further out, is this within 1 run of being balanced?
