Default Charging Saddle Packs

Okay, n00b question again - Is it possible to charge both Saddle Pack batteries at the same time (with one charger)? I have the Reedy 5700mah 65C SP batteries for my B44.2

The instructions for the battery SUCK saying basically don't blow the battery up, don't overcharge and all sorts of other safety common sense. Yet, it didn't explain how the heck to charge the batteries nor did it explain how to hook the batteries up.

I've got three cables if I recall correctly. One black cable has a small metal tube taped alongside the wire. I'm guessing that's supposed to be a ground of some sort? The other cable(s) has the lipo balancing cable integrated with them but I honestly have no idea how to charge these things. One end of the cables has pre-soldered connections (i'm guessing for the ESC) and the other have bullet/tube connectors (not sure what they are called).

For what's it's worth, I'm using a Thunder Power Lipo charger with external balance board. I've charged Lipo's for Airsoft guns and RC Airplanes with no problems in the past. Clearly I've been out of the RC car hobby way to long if I can't figure out how to charge a dang battery.
