I just spoke with the service mgr for my region who said a new firmware update is changing this so that it will balance the cells after a std mode charge. You won't ever have to do a range-mode charge just to balance it. I can't remember if he said he updated my firmware with it... or whether it will be in the next firmware update. I'll find out.Range mode does more balancing than std mode. You may not notice it if your bricks are all pretty close in voltage.
