Default LiPo's Not Balancing - Do I Need New?

<div><span style="font-size: larger;">Hey All -</span></div><div>Been in electric flight for quite a while but, I'm still a newb' when it comes to lipo pack management and the like. I have an issue that I'm seeking some insight on. I've got two (2) ThunderPower 3-cell LiPo batteries (2600 mAh, 11.1v) that seem to be having an issue balancing. I've had them for 2+ years but not a ton of flights on them (probably less then 35 flights each). I've charged / discharged during storage and do my best to keep them "fresh". The issue I'm having is this:</div><div></div><div>I plug my balancer into the packs and they never seem to stop blinking / balancing. Even after a solid 16 hours, they're still balancing the cells. I use the Astro Flight Blinky as my balancer and a Great Planes Triton Jr. to charge my packs. Any insights? Thanks!</div>
