Oh dear, oh dear...

Well, the wiring should be easy enough, but in all honesty the charger & balancer are so old I'd just sell it or use it as a nimh-only item; decent lipo chargers with built in balancers only cost £40-50 at UK prices, less if you go via hobbyking or ebay.

As for that piece of shit old(er) maxamps lipo, I wouldn't trust it in anything more demanding than a brushed stampede or rustler sized vehicle.

Seems like to wire that lipo up, you can only charge it through the balancer without having the main power leads connected; just run the deans lead to the charger via the front sockets/clippy things, then plug the balancer into the deans, then the lipo's balancer plug ( little white one ) goes to the other side of the balancer. Then set the charger for 2s lipo and no more than 3amps charge rate ( to avoid cooking the little wires on the balancer input & output ).

But yeah, it's an old setup and poor battery, you can sell them both quite easily though to some other unwary newb....
