Mark you are so wrong please refer to link below, back of the net!

I'd suggest you look things up in future instead of advising people on how to torch their house or shed.
With a low self discharge rate (please refer to link) it is enough to over charge a cell in a pack, even though they are matched at the factory due to manufacturing you can't guarantee over time that one cell may discharge more than another.
So when you do not balance them you will over charge one cell. KAPOOOW!
