I'm not sure what you are trying to say. But I mentioned this before... say for instance you charge the cells at maximum 8amp, it's charging, it's charging, then nearing 4.2 volts, the charger would 'see' 4.2 volts, but the potential at the cell would be more like say, 4.17 volts, this is because of the losses in the small balance wire. Now, the current begins to fall, and as it's falling, the 'voltage losses' in the length of wire becomes less and less, so for example once it drops to 4 amps, the charger still 'sees' 4.2 volts, but now the cell is sitting at around 4.185 volts. This will continue until it approaches fully charged and the current drops to such a level where the charger voltage and cell voltage are indistinguishable, as the voltage losses are so minute.
