Default charging a 2s3p?

Hey guys, idk if i'm just stupid or honestly dont know what is going on but i just ordered a 2s3p lipo for my receiver pack and it has 3 plugs coming out of it. One for the charge power, and 2 for balancing....how am i supposed to charge this one? I guess i am just used to the one balancing plug. My charger charges all the way up to 6s so i guess my question is just how to hook it up to my charger and how to tell it to charge? Here is a pic

Three wired plug is the balance lead

The other two are discharge (main) battery leads wired in parallel

They are just giving you two options for connecting it (white micro plug and servo / rx type)

You need to connect one of those two to your charger main port and the balance as normal

You will need an adapter or multi charge lead if you dont own one, something like this

Or you can just cut one of the plugs off (the one you dont need) and use whatever you normally use on your charger (TRX / Deans etc...)

Cheers

oh ok...that makes sense...so basically i could just tape down one of the balance plugs and forget it was even there? and run it like i would one with just one balance plug? awesome. thanks guys!

This may be typical these days for rcvr packs - I have a 2200 Life rcvr pack and it comes with 4 different leads. 3 to connect to the main power depending on the conn needed and 1 balance lead.
