Am I getting this right?

So this may have been answered somewhere in here but hopefully someone can just confirm my summary. So from what I understand grid charging can balance the cells, and you can even do monthly or so grid charges if all the cells rates of discharge vary greatly. Now is it right accurate hat grid charging will not be helpful if one or more cells' capacity is significantly lower than the others? It seems then that the sure fire way would be to do the charge and discharge of all the cells. Now, final question, is doing so also effectively similar to a grid charge, in that once you have cycled all of the cells and charged them back up that they are technically balanced, or do you also need a grid charger for that. The motivation for this question simply comes from trying to find the most efficient and cost-effective way to deal with this. Maybe just grid charging would do it, but if the chances are low then I'll just do the whole shibang with each cell.

Thanks for anything!
