That is a good point and basically true: if you really want to give the pack a chance to balance, you need to charge to 100% without a timer and sit for several hours (I think as many as 6).
Does this apply even though I use both a start and end time? My Leaf always charges instantly at 8PM and never waits to finish charging by a specific end time. It usually sits around 8-9 hours at a full charge before being driven.
Thanks,

My understanding is: yes, you need to run a 100% charge cycle without timers (use the bypass button). And let it set. Of course, there's no guarantee it will balance, but these are the necessary conditions to allow it.
