I balance manually now. I do have a BMS but have not installed it. I purchased a different charger so I no longer have the issue of charging to over 60v.

Actually, I have two of the Chargery BMS modules but I really want to have a quick disconnect method to detach the BMS. I've heard that a BMS failure isn't uncommon (not brand specific, any BMS) and when a BMS module fails the most common failure is to fail in the balancing/discharging state, so it would put a continual load on a single cell until it bricks that cell. This is my first foray into lithium powered vehicles, so I am going off only what I've read.
