I have LED/diode balancing on the caps in my motorcycle for like 4 years now. No problems with balance, and I probably don't even need any balancing.

Caps that get a little bit more voltage will also bleed off that voltage faster. In that way, they self balance.

Try it yourself. Charge 1 cap to 2.7v, and another to 2v, and chart the daily voltage drop.
