So I have a 3S pack where the balance lead broke when I was out running, and made sparks when the balance wires touched. So I got a new balance wire end and cut off the old broken end and spliced it back up to the new end, but now when I connect it to the charger one of the cells reads 0. I can’t see anything wrong with the wire connection, and when I do a regular non balance wire voltage read it’s higher than what the 2 cells show so I think the cell isn’t dead, just something with that one balance connection I guess. I read something about opening the pack to check the balance connection at the source but that’s beyond what I’m comfortable with. So my question is, before I just give up on this battery altogether, can I get away with just charging it unbalanced without the balance wire, or any other tips or should I just give up on it?
