gotta agree, I only balance charge my batteries as that's what I decided I would do. With that said, I would have to say at least 50% of the guys at the track don't balance more than once a month at most.

I say that to agree with racer1812's post but also note, I only balance charge. I'm not saying my way is the only way as so many others don't balance and have no issues. For me I see no reason not to balance charge as my charger does it and it can do it with up to a 30amp charge rate.
