What is a LiPo balance plug?
A balance connector is nothing more than a breakout connector for accessing all the individual cells contained in a lipo. This allows for the monitoring and manipulation of each cell individually.
Can you charge a LiPo through the balance lead?
Parallel Charging with Only Balance Leads All it takes is a “balance to discharge” adapter. Simply connect it to one of the slots on the parallel charging board. Then you can connect the LiPo to the rest of the slots, with only the balance port, and you can charge them as normal!
What is a balance plug?

How does LiPo balancer work?
The balancer uses the lipo balance connector to access each cell. Once connected it can do 2 things, monitor the voltage of each cell and if need be, discharge high cells in order to make all the cells the same voltage. That’s it, it really is that simple. lipo looks like in terms of voltage and amperage.
How do you charge a LiPo with a balance port?

Do you have to balance charge Lipos every time?

How do I charge my LiPo with a mobile charger?
What happens when you charge a LiPo battery with a NiMH charger?
LiPo batteries have greater “energy density” than NiMH batteries, meaning they have more voltage and capacity than a NiMH battery would of the same volume. NEVER charge a LiPo battery using a NiMH charger (or NiMH charging mode on a combination NiMH/LiPo battery charger).
