6 FAQs about [Is it okay to not use a balance charger for the battery pack ]
Do I need a balance lead to charge a battery?
The chargers I use (ISDT) don't do any balancing unless the cells are out of balance towards the end of a charge cycle. My chargers only require the balance lead to be plugged in if doing a balance charge. Otherwise it is just looking for a target voltage to shut off at. Balance charging takes 3 to 4 times longer than a fast charge.
Can a battery be charged without a balancer?
In your case you have FIVE cells in series which is virtually impossible to charge without a balancer. So there is nothing to prevent one or more of the cells from over/under charging which will eventually cause a problem with your battery. Do NOT use a lead-acid charger on any Li-based cell!
Do I need balancing when charging a pack?
You are correct. Charging without cell monitoring and charge control is an accident waiting to happen. Just because it worked a few times doesn't mean it's not necessary. Packs do not require balancing every time you charge - but most chargers monitor all cells during charging so that you don't overcharge any cell.
Do I need to balance charge every time I charge?
As long as you usually balance and as long as your charger monitors all cells, then you don't need to balance charge every time you charge. Packs do not require balancing every time you charge - but most chargers monitor all cells during charging so that you don't overcharge any cell.
Does a 2s battery charger have a balancer?
The charger that I have has a balancer output to balance the cell voltage in batteries, but a lot of 2S packs on the market don't include a balance connector at all. For example, this one: Why is that? Isn't it unsafe to charge a 2S (or any multi-cell battery) without proper cell balancing? Why do some <x> come without <y>.
Do batteries need balancing?
Without balancing you are relying on the cells continuing to stay matched. Good cells will do this for many years if treated well. In my experience a battery that needs regular balancing usually has a faulty cell, and will get worse. Once a battery gets to this condition it is best to discard it, even if using a balance charger.
