SLA really doesnt need a balancer in most situations, the different chemistry is really quite tolerant of variations as long as its close enough (ie replace batterys at the same time, same make etc and they will be fine), Liions on the other hand have a different chemistry and rather than self balancing as LA batterys do, they tend to get more and more out of balance, hence the need for balancers, monitoring etc
LA technology has been around for a loooong time, and has survived all this time without needing balancing units, so you are adding an extra level of complexity and possible failure points for no real reason
