Get a balancing charger.
depends on quality of cells. I have a couple of team orion carbon lipos that didn't I didn't balance for 3 years of use cuz my duratrax ICE doesn't balance. got a seperate balancer a couple years ago and turns out they were only out of voltage by 0.03V. thats good. most balancing chargers dont even enter balancing mode unless the cells differential is over 0.05V.
I have turnigys that need to be balanced after every use cuz they are out by .5 or more.
but to be on the safe side, its good to have a balancer...
