Yep, that was it! I peeled up enough shoe-goo between two cells for the sensor to have direct contact with the cells, and now it is reading almost exactly the same as the IR. (w/in 2 F)

I am very glad to have this temp sensor on there. It works on the discharge part of the cycle as well, pausing when necessary to allow the pack to cool a bit.

I wish it could just read through the goo, but if I just pull the goo up half a cell length on the battery bar side, then I'll still have 75% of the goo holding things together. It's a small price to pay I think.

Thanks for everyones' help!
