I've never tried a 1S, I know I can charge a 2S or better without the balance connection connected, I've not tried storage without balance wires connected.

Empire Hobbies is US distributor and I suggest you try emailing them with this question. They are dealer only, but I've seen them answer questions about the Hyperions chargers on other forums.
You can charge without a balance tap on the EOS0606i with no problem. I always balance mine to keep the voltage balanced between cells but it's not absolutely necessary... just recommended. I think what's happening with Store mode is the firmware assumes 2s+ and requires a tap connector so it can monitor cells during any needed discharge or it errors on you and stops. It's a built-in safety feature that they forgot to add an exception to for 1s in the firmware apparently

Store mode on the EOS puts the cell(s) at 60% by default. Discharge (or charge) your 1s to 2.22v and call it done.
