Never buying anything Dyson again after discovering (the expensive way) that they've neglected (likely intentionally) to implement cell balancing in their cordless vac batteries: https://hackaday.com/2022/05/23/fighting-back-against-dodgy-...

Milwaukee does this as well it seems, the M12 batteries I've had fail and taken apart seem to have no method of balancing the cells. They have sense lines to the charger from each cell, but those go through a 1k resistor so don't seem like they could be used for active balancing.
