This flies opposite to the experience of Insight G1 owners who have marginal packs, the trouble I forsee is that the various types of cells will behave differently and have different charge requirements, where my 13 year old pack likely enjoys a charge to be functional, perhaps a new pack should only be charged partway?

To balance the cells in an Insight G1 pack may need to charge at a very slow rate for up to a little over a full day, so perhaps we aren't all talking the same language.
