After a longish ride and a long charge, the three green lights started the 1/4 second blink as expected. But I noticed that occasionally, the unbalanced signal would appear (two outer greens followed by the inner green). Maybe once every minute or two for a few seconds, and then disappearing, going back to the 1/4 second blink. The battery was not overly warm; in fact, it seemed just barely warm to the touch. Is this normal?
Thanks in advance

I just went to have another look with a stop-watch. Took about 3 minutes for me to catch the unbalanced signal. It lasted for perhaps 5 seconds, and then disappeared.

An update from 8 hours later. Same behaviour, but the unbalanced signal came on more often. And the lights never got to the stage when they light up for a full second; just the 1/4 second flash. The solid green light on the speedometer was steady though, so I unplugged the bike. After that, the battery gave the periodic flash from the right-side green light, indicating all was well. When I have a few minutes, I'll have to sit down and watch it for a while, to see if the unbalanced signal shows up again.

I also noticed it, but it's normal.
They changed the battery system in 2013, and closed the gap over the "4 LED" display in 2015
Let the BMS do it´s job and everyting is fine

Thanks ZT. Yeah, I just checked it again. In the unplugged and turned-off state, the light wasn't doing anything. But when I switched the key on, the four lights went to 5 sec's on and 1 sec off, indicating normal full charge.
