If the same blade always drops to the 6 o'clock position, even when you reverse the prop on the balancer, then it's not the balancer at fault. It must simply be that one blade is heavier than the...

Nope, one battery is fine providing it is adequate to cope with the combined amps of both motors (which looks to be no problem in your case)
