If your doing a balance charge the balancing process will use a bit of the mah put back into the back. The longer the cells are balancing the bigger the difference will be between what has actually gone back into the pack and what the charger has put out. Might not be the full 1000mah's difference, but could be some of it.

Great explanation Patrick, I was wondering about that.
