I have heard about some guys plugging into the balance tabs for servo power.
I'm drawing servo power from one 2s lipo on my serpent. The difference in balance between the two packs is 200mah or less. It poses no risk to your batteries even if your charging the packs together as a 4s or in parallel as two 2s.
