Seems as though this subject is pretty wrapped up. So I'm gonna kick that dead horse one more time.

I asked about balancing at my lhs. Explained I have the Onyx 230 which does not balance charge. But the plug on my lipo fits the balance charger that came with my Blade CX heli. That charger does the job, but takes a few hours to do it. (designed for a lipo with much less mAh)

Was told that I don't have to worry about balancing except for about every ten charge/discharge cycles. I do it more often than that, and have had no problems.
