I just picked up a used 106B, your 206 should be very similar ... I had found this for my own reference, hopefully it helps you as well ...;)

the problem is every video uses lipo packs that have the built in balancing lead plug, Lipo race packsdont, the just have the holes for the bullet connectors and the center tiny hole between positive & negative, thats where im lost.. Forgive me if its a easy answer, i just cant seem to figure it out

Ironically, my new battery just came with that, so i think i have it sorted out. Plug my balance board into charger, that little white plug to the balance board & blue wire inbetween positive z7 negative :-)

Congrats on buying the best charger for the money. The 206B is a beast. Hook this thing up to a HP computer power supply, or any decent one, and it can easily charge two identical packs real quick. I have never charged a battery faster. I usually charge @ 1 1/2c on all batteries, except the really small ones that say just 1c.

I have this charger also, how do you charge 2 batteries at once. I don't have a manual for my charger and havent found one yet.
Any help would be appreciated.

You're best bet would be buying a paraboard for charging multiple batteries at once.

Thats why I bought the 106B, actually two of them ... used, paid less than the price of a new 206B, and acts as a duo, with a backup ...

You can do 6 at once like the video below:-
