I balance about every 3 charges or once a week for me. I normally balance before the mains, to try and squeeze all the power I can. Does it make me faster.....No, but it makes me feel better, lol. I have checked the IR on my cells and have noticed that one cell is 2x the IR of the other cell. Once that starts to happen, the cells will start getting out of sync more, thus balancing should become more critical.

That is why cav finished 4th, he should have balanced his pack.....lol
