Default A123 balancing question

Do A123 batteries need to be balanced every charge? Mitch

Here's what Fromco posted about their testing of a123 and charging. http://www.flyinggiants.com/forums/f...tml#post773020 near the bottom of the page.
Untill you acquire a balancing charger at least measure voltage per cell to be sure your batteries are close to balanced. It's very common for my batteries to get out of balance evan when using the Cellpro almost exclusively.

I am told they only need it for the first 20-30 charges. But by then I have the balance charger and am set up to balance charge so why not continue?
