Comment:

 Running version Django==2.0.1

 With Example form

 {{{
 class UpdateBalanceForm(forms.Form):
     id = forms.ModelChoiceField(ProductPortfolio.objects.all(),
 required=True)
     balance = forms.DecimalField(decimal_places=2, max_digits=16,
 required=True)
 }}}

 Running the following you get

 {{{
 form = UpdateBalanceForm({'id':1,
 'balance':Decimal('5.420575188741E-12')})
 form.is_valid()
 False
 form.errors
 {'id': ['Select a valid choice. That choice is not one of the available
 choices.'], 'balance': ['Ensure that there are no more than 16 digits in
 total.']}
 }}}

 This is surprising because the value has 13 digits minus the scientific
 notation
