Do you have to balance charge lipos ?

[raymondkerr]

New to lipos and just picked up 2 packs of 4200 intellect saddle pack lipos for my b44. I use the muchmore silent chargers and charge at 1c (4.2amp)

I have been looking at the muchmore balance add on for my chargers

but do I really need to balance charge ? Will I get any more performance out of the packs ? if I don't balance, will I damage the batteries?

Any advice for a lipo newbie would be most welcome.

Thanks
Raymond
