As a safety feature, totally understand it.

Thinking further about it, I suspect the voltage measuring circuit on the balance port is just a better set of components compared to the main output circuit. nothing to do with volt drop or resistance of leads.
Could be when i dont use the balance port the main leads will measure 4.2, but its allways under at scruteneering, the only reason the main goes to 4.3 is the balance circuit is taking over.
