Its unlikely that they still life there after the battle of the field of celebrant, since nothing was heared of them after that. I think it would be more logical if they would be back in Rhun, where they originaly came from, and where may their ancestors life at. For the most part they did go back to Rhûn. The majority of the Balchoth will be part of the Wainriders. However, some of the strongest could have stayed, and become soldiers of DG. They worshipped the Necromancer after all.

Its most likely that most of them would have gone back to Rhun, most likely to the rest of their volk, since its not unlikely that a part of their population stayed in Rhun. therefore its also unlikely that they became a part of the Wainriders, which are a conferdacy and unlikely to take the whole volk of the Balchoth. so its most likely that the Balchoth just used their 500 years to repopulate and to advance their culture and life-style.

The Balchoth that remained with DG are by no means an army, simply a small number of loyalists to Sauron, locked up in castles and worshipping their Necromancer.
