Default What connections (tabs)

This is a homeade lipo. I pretty sure where the connections go but I dont want to make the wrong mistake. Two connectors go together and the black wire attatches to those and the red wire attatches to one of the other tabs. But what goes on the other tab? Which one goes together and which one do the red and black wires go to? I just need to know what connections are made where and how? Thanks in advance! This is a 2 cell lipo.

I think you can put together either of the pairs of tabs. Then connect the black and red wires to the OTHER two tabs. I don't think the wires should go on the two soldered-together tabs.

Will you also have a balance connector?

one goes to the most positive tab, the middle to the soldered (two) tabs and the other to the most negative terminal. I don't remember which side of the connector wants the negative.. Google it

do you have the correct solder, normal solder wont work on the aluminium tabs. (i think you need zinc solder)

and be fast as the temperarure of the soldering iron is higher than the thermal runaway of the pack, so soldering slowly will result in a minature inferno!
