do you charge the lipo through the balancing board? I have been asuming that you do (even though i think it makes zero sense), because that is the only way i can connect my battery to my charger. Now, it came with two seperate wires, a black and red one but they have no connector on the end. Was i supossed to buy a seperate connector and crimp it myself?

i know this sounds stupid, but the battery has 2 sets of wires coming out and it makes sense that one might be a input and the other output. The instructions to the hyperion are HORRIBLE.

it also came with a black wire with three really long stagered prongs on the end. I have zero idea where this goes.
Most lipo packs come with a discharge plug and a balancer plug, by the way you describe it, your pack did not come with a discharge plug thus you will have to buy a plug to suit your equipment.

Some charger can charge lipo packs through the balancer plug but you still need to connect a discharge plug to the beefier discharge wires for the actual operation.
