Few chargers these days support it, most need the main wires connected.

Depending on whom you listen to it‘s limited to 1 to 4 amps.

I’d say it’s less accurate, because with larger currents comes more voltage drop between battery and charger. The balancer wires can provide more accurate cell readings if the large charge currents are kept on the main wires.
