Top balancing does not cut it, unless you charge very frequently. Mini solar panel?

I think top balancing is ok so long as the balancing Is aggressive enough, and occurs in the range they typically operate in. The LEDs I chose only balance when the caps are above a certain voltage, and while sitting I'm sure they were below that for much of it. The longer they can sit near full without cycling, the more they'll stay in balance. A higher current LED would help.
