Default Charging through a balance board?

Hi all,

I purchased a carson expert sport charger off ebay as a spare charger and didn't realise at the time that it wasn't a balance charger so is it possible to still balance with it through some sort of balance board and where would I get one from?

I think you would find that the second item, stand alone checker/balancer, would take forever to balance batteries but good for checking their state... The trakpower, through, balancer would do a better job as it balances while charging...like a built in balancer..
