the balancer is not a nesesity, it just gets the best from the cells for longer.
the trackpower is designed to work with the pack and has all the needed wires, others may reguire leads making up.when u have one use it all the time i do, but trakpower have a pack out on trial that has had over 100 cycles and its never been balanced and is still going strong as tho it was new.
it simply keeps the two cells balanced to each other much as equalizing .
