Serious fallacy trusting “cells” to always be healthy and assuming a few checks is all it takes to play with this chemistry. Cells (particularly pouch format) can and do change.
Hell, one cell in a 10S string discharging and shorting to 0V can still show 33.8V pack voltage if the other 9 cells are 3.75V. If you’re relying on every cell to be in balance 100% of the time, you’re gonna wind up running something to dangerous OD levels.
You either need an alarm and/or check cells every charge/discharge or a BMS to handle when things get out of whack. Otherwise, you’re just guessing and guessing can and will most likely suffer serious consequences.
Oh and btw, even with a properly monitored/managed pack, 3.4V/cell is asking for trouble. Look at this discharge graph demonstrating how little energy exists below 3.65V:
It’s also just a crap shoot which cell is gonna dive off a cliff before the others…
OP dodged a bullet here and now it's time to learn and improve handling/use.
