Is this safe?

Hey guys, so my trio of 25Rs seem to have a voltage gap. I put them on the charger just now, 2 of the 3 batteries are at 3.74v and the last one is showing 4.01v. is this dangerous to use until I get new batteries? I have more batteries coming on Thursday. Are they safe to use? Thanks!

EDIT: I removed the 4.01v battery and replaced it in the charger, it showed at 3.92v, I replaced it in the charger again, now showing 3.86v...... Is it a bad battery?

Sounds more like something with the charger. Try cleaning the contacts.

As far as the voltage variance goes...
Triple batt series mods don't pull evenly from all 3 batts. It's common for them to discharge to different voltages. As long as they all charge up to the same voltage, you're good.

Yezzir! Always rotate em :p Well, they're finishing up charging now, I wonder if the RX200S I have is capable of detecting an overcharged battery just in case. It will show the voltage of each battery, but I wonder if the board would show say 4.3v or something if one is overcharged. hmm....... I really should get a multi meter lol
