It keeps the cells in a Lipo pack at the same voltage. It balances the cells during charge. The benefits of balancing are:
-Increased saftey (due to less of a chance of overcharge/overdischarge)
-Increased Life (cells are less damaged due to overcharge/overdischarge)
-Better performance during life (same reason)
-Less expensive in the long run (because of longer battery life)
