New to lipo.
 
I just recently purchased a redcat hexfly lipo charger. It uses small white connections on the front of it none of which look suitable to use for charging a battery. I have a traxxas 7.4v 2s lipo with the trx connector.

I'm wondering what I have to do to make this connection.

The connectors on the charger appear to be balance connectors but nowhere on this charger are there the typical red and black leads.

Thanks for any info ahead of time.

It sounds kind of like the usual slow chargers they include in RTR packages. You can charge off the balance lead without using the main +- leads, it just takes a while longer to charge.

Which model of charger? Looks like there is some models that you use a bullet connector on the side for charging leads?

Thanks I got it figured out. I got an adapter to go from the 2s balance type plug to my trx plug at my local hobby store.
