I was always under the impression balance charging should be done every charge unless your cells are known to be discharging at different levels everytime, or really out of whack when LVC kicks in. For me, keeping track of all my 2S/3S/4S packs, and which cells play well with others, I just storage charge a LiPo pack almost every time after use, and balance charge the pack before almost every use.

Those numbers that are shown in OP are well within "usable" voltages. Those numbers can't be after a charge. Are they?
