Default Bought new charger, which balance board do I use?

Im just getting into electric flight, I bought a new charger (Hobby King HK486) and Im wanting to charge a Turnigy 5S 5000mah Lipo battery pack with it. The charger came with 4 different balance boards and my battery will fit in 3 of them. I dont want to mess my battery or charger up by using the wrong one. The balance boards all have numbers on them. Here are the numbers:

JST XH
EH-02
TP/FP-02
PQ-02

What do these numbers mean? and which one do I use?

Turnigy Batts use XH plug. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_91...tm.htm#9108084 sorry I don't know what they mean. Brand name perhaps.

They are the type of balance lead. Look up your battery online, it will say what balance lead it has
