Default Stupid Question

I am new to the electric side of the hobby been flying glow for a number of years. My question is I just got a thunder power lipo with the cheap Parkzone lipo charger. Does it matter which lead I use to charge it with, the big one that plugs into the plane or the little 4 wire one. I know this is a stupid question but I don't know.
Thanks for you help

"the big one that plugs into the plane" "or the little 4 wire one"
Both are for charging, the "big one" you will have to use with the charger that you have or with any LIPO charger.

If you want to ballance the battery and charge it then you will need a LIPO ballancer plus charger (like the [link=http://www.electrifly.com/chargers/gpmm3153.html]Triton charger[/link] and [link=http://www.electrifly.com/chargers/gpmm3160.html]Balancer[/link],
So to balance the battery you need to use the "little 4 wire one" connector.
