A Monte Carlo study on the charge balance function in high energy hadron-hadron and relativistic heavy ion collisions are carried out using the Monte Carlo generators PYTHIA and AMPT, respectively. A strong dependence of the width of balance function on multiplicity is found in both cases. Using the mean parton-freeze-out time of a heavy-ion-collision event as the characteristic hadronization time for the event, it is found that for a fixed multiplicity interval the width of balance function is consistent with being independent of hadronization time.
