Yes, it does. The two most fundamental advantages I've found for a high
current balancer-equalizer are:

1. Your range is no longer limited by the weakest battery -- it is
   limited by the average for the pack as a whole, because the good
   batteries "prop up" the weak ones as you drive.

2. Battery life is improved, because you can keep using a pack that
   has batteries of significantly different capacities. Balancing
   also avoids the need to overcharge (and damage) good batteries
   to complete charging of weak batteries.
