I thought synching had more to do with the magnitude of the back emf reaching a level that is measurable by the ESC. That would make it depend on speed and independent of the number of poles.

I have slow charged/discharged them all twice before running them.
I have not noticed that they die in a particular location in the pack. The last time this happened, the voltages were 3.3, 3.3, 3.3, 3.3, 3.3, 2.6. Everything I can think of that would cause LVC (bad solder joints, too much current, etc.) should not affect the balance.
What about overheating the cells when soldering the tabs? I use a gigantic iron... I think it's 80W, and heat the cell tabs less than 5 secs to tin and then about 5 secs again to solder the wires.
