"balancers are just a money grab"

[Arct1k]

I'm on RCC to - The statement is just wrong...

There is a good write up on balancing in RC Driver (have to declare i write for them)...

Balancing ensures that over time voltages don't drift out of safe ranges ie a 2s pack drops to 2.6v and 3.4v in each cell - Total pack looks a healthy 6v

Balancing tells you when a pack is nearing its lifes end or is stressed - one cell is normally weaker than the rest

Balancing preserves the life of your pack

Balancing is good...
