I have had the same issue a few times on both of my carts and plan to address it when I get back to Florida in October. It looks like we've both got simular setups and chargers.

I'm pretty sure that the issue is that just we're charging too close to our Max V setting. I have watched as one or two cells will be just a hair higher than the rest at the very end of the charge cycle, during balancing, when it triggers the cell over voltage protection.

I was talking with Gary about our chargers a couple of months ago and he was telling me that there's three potentiometers inside and one controls the output voltage. Simply put your multi-meter on the output and tweak ccw on the pot until the desired output voltage is reached. I am planning to adjust my charger down a hair to around 58v / 4.14. If you look at the discharge chart your not loosing any significant capacity at that voltage, your stressing the cells less and significantly reducing the chances of overcharging.

With my charger set for 58/4.14v I'll probably have my Zeva settings around:
Max V: 4.17
Bal V: 4.12
Charge V: not applicable for our chargers.

We'll see what I end up with when I get back. Good luckAttachment 189088

Thats were i am. I dont have a canbus charger. I do notice some cells are a tad higher. I set my pot at 58.3v i believe. I am away at seasonal and it wont be checked till oct as well. Just annoying
