if you use the cellogs like dogman talked about you can watch the discharge of each cell and keep track of the individual cell voltages. set the alarm at a level you know is gonna be outa range, like the 2.9V i use and then when it alarms you can see which of the channels is the low one.
then you can monitor it when you charge and determine if it is not getting a full charge and you might be able to force it to fill up with charge and then remove it as a limitation on the range.
i am gonna try to carry a reserve pack to use to restore a really low outa range cell on my big lipo/lifepo4 pack.
it is made up of several of the little lifepo4 pouches that i have charged up so i can clip them on to the low channel and transfer the charge from the reserve cell into the low cell in the pack, to allow the remainder of the pack to discharge too. 4 pouches with 3.8Ah capacity left. otherwise scrapped for low capacity. using little alligator clip terminated jumper wires. keep them stored in a cardboard box to fit in the glove box.
that should add a lot of capacity to the pack for little amount of reserve storage and cost.
