Simply put, a balancer is a long term insurance on your lipo packs.

I have been charging my 2 G3 3s lipo packs as a 6s pack, non-balance mode, intentionally didn't balance them for roughly 20 cycles, I just checked them last night, nothing, as soon as I plug it in, the 720i balance mode says complete on both packs after a short pause. So there you go, if a pack is matched, it is far from crucial to use balancing every charge.
