also, here was a couple more questions:

On the balancing connector, it has three wires. Two black, and one red. now, is each of the black wires go to a separate cell? If so, then why am I reading 8 volts on that one cell, where if that was true, the battery would have detonated by now? This is all confusing!!! But, the battery pack is in an airtight ammo box in the middle of an empty garage, just incase my questions were right. thanks, Joe
