Tomw, Thanks for catching that. I missed typed it should have been 234 to 235 volts. But to answer your question the 234-235 volts is when I tell the BMS to restrict the total voltage higher to see if the cells will ever reach 3.5v. So I guess from reading other comments, the lost is from the resistance in my interconnect. I did not realize that the draw from my connections would have this much drop on charge. To answer the other questions my charger is an eltek Valere with a Orien BMS. The measure voltage on each cell and the total pack is via the BMS after the balance but before the fully charged phase. So at this point I assume that turning off the total pack restrictions to allow for loss and limiting each battery to 3.45 (was 3.5) is my best charging regiment.
