i am assuming you are usig a proper balancer? if so you set it to the same you would as if you where charging it.
If you are trying to balance it manually (i.e. charging one side at a time) we do not recommend this as it can cause more harm then good if not done properly. Also we have yet to see a single Orion li-po pack go out of balance so I would ask why you feel the need to balance your pack? Have you checked it has it shown signs of balance issues?
Balancing it does give any performance advantage unless the pack has gone out of balance from abuse or neglect in the first place.
We have run batteries weekly for over a year and have not yet seen a need for balancing.
*Note I can only speak of our Orion/Kokam Lipo's not for other brands.
