Charging li-pos w/out using a balancer...can it be done?

[bl-is-future]

you can balance without a balancer. It is much more complicated than just using a balancer. here is what you could do. pull the wires out of the balancing tap careful that they don't touch. using them same leads charge the cell to 4v or so. repeat for each cell until each cell is the same exact voltage. You have just charged the cells and they are matched aka balanced.
