Oh yeah, I like this approach. It is definitely what I'm going to try in my build.
First thoughts:
A bleeder unit for a 12 cell bank might be a good idea. Nice "safe" differential voltage.
How about environmental conditions? Temperature?. Probably has to stay constant during the process.
Discharge amp rating as high as possible, but then again not too high, since
heating up an adjacent bank before it starts its balancing act might have an adverse effect.
Perhaps a little bit of cooling down in between discharging sessions or maybe a scheme selecting banks with enough distance between them?
A temperature sensor should already be in the bank for safety. Use it to adjust the turn-off voltage?
