I'm not sure this is the case my charger raises the voltage at fixed current up to a maximum voltage then finishes charging with constant voltage (and lowers the current as it approaches fully charged). All Lipos would reach the same limited maximum voltage.
This isn't how NiMH/NiCd are charged where packs (cells) are charged at constant current throughout the charge and might peak at different voltages.
Does balancing ensure putting the same charge/energy into each cell? If so, charging them seperately won't do this.
