The hard core bottom balancing advocates (the loudest of whom is Jack Rickard...just Google him) are claiming that it only should be done once a year, and even by then they are still very close. Just drive the car till it's nearly dead and then slowly drain each cell individually to 2.7V. Charge it up. Bam! Finished. Of course it is tedious and would probably take a whole day, but hey, you get to tinker on your car!
