Another thing is maybe don't charge to exactly 4.2v/cell. I set my CC/CV threshold on my charger to 4.15v/cell. You lose very little runtime but that extra 0.05v/cell gives you a little wiggle room in case the balance is not perfect. That way, there is less of a chance for a cell to exceed 4.2v by the end of the charge.
