I do this on my LFP powered, Xivan charged, proprietary BMS commercial conversion. (It's a Blade Electron, sadly defunct conversion company. bev.com.au )
Over the last couple of months a regular daily extra charge triggered by a timer switch has really brought the batteries back to life after a near death experience. I can only assume this is equalizing the batteries because the charger stops as soon as all the cells are being bypassed by the BMS.
