If your charging voltage stays at the fixed 3.6V i see no problems for using it for balancing. A nice safety feature is that the 4.3V cutoff really cuts the balancer loose from it's charging signal.
That's good to know. I saw that there were several chargers capable of charging M1 cells, but didn't see anything meant explicity for balancing them. Once I realized how the balancer actually works, it made sense that it would work for these cells even though it wasn't explicitly designed for them.

Like I said, the charger will provide the floor and ceiling cutoffs for the pack. The balancer will simply keep each cell equalized with respect to each other.
