+1 Been using that same charger since it came out. It costs less than an expensive Lipo and perfectly balances the pack every charge without even having to think about it. It runs an active balancing cycle rather than just your conventional extremely low bleed of the highest voltage cells. It actually varies the current to each of the cells by as much as 1amp to keep them all charging at the same rate and balanced perfectly. I'd recomend it to anyone as a very worth while investment. Its not that much more than other balancing chargers, but its by far the best balalncing charger currently available. IMO spend a few extra bucks on the one thing that actually matters when trying to maintain your expensive batteries.
But that said.... To answer the original question. Yes you can charge a lipo without balancing. Just dont expect it to last very long if you dont.
