Default Noob question

Hi guys,
Bought a Storm Launcher, and had a dud charger straight out of the box. So, I went and bought a 'Swallow 2' charger for charging the LIPO. Whilst buying that, I thought I'd get another LIPO battery, so I also got a Dualsky XPower 7.4v 1050mAH 2 Cell LIPO.

Here's the question.

I don't have a 'balancer', but the battery has 2 plugged sets of wires coming out of it (One with 3 wires - labelled 'charge port' the other with two wires - unlabelled)

I'm wondering - do you use the two wired plug for charging when you don't have a balancer, and the 3-wired one when you do?

I'm planning on getting a balancer, but not for a few weeks, so I'd like to charge without one for now (if that's possible?)

Thanks in advance
Scott

Yes, basically the idea you have is correct..

2 wires - charging without a balancer..
3 wires - balancing tap.

Here is a great place to get some lipo knowledge - http://www.commonsenserc.com/page.ph...education.html
