There are 2 major ways to charge your batteries...
If you select Fast charge or Charge then the only plug you need to plug in is your Deans /ET60, etc. Select the Lipo cell number and the amp input as Paul suggested and the charger will charge the battery to a set voltage for that particular battery and switch off. ( It doesn't monitor the cells it just pumps it up to a set voltage)
If you select Balance charge you need to plug in both leads. Be careful when plugging in the balance lead. The black wire on the balance lead is your negative all the others are cell posatives. The black wire plugs in to the corresponding pin at that end of the charger balance pins. If you stuff that up you will short out your battery or blow up your charger.... not good!!
If your charger came with a cell balance pin adapter then you just plug it into the right hole and you can't stuff that up.
Then you select your cell count and Input amperage as before. It will then charge the battery till all the cells are stable at 4.2 Volts each. This is the method 95% of people use as it looks after your battery by ensuring all the cells are evenly charged, and that will ensure you get maximum life out of your Lipo's.
Hope this helps.
