li po battery

[mackem54]

the lipo batteries have two different connections on either one can anyone explain which is which and how the battery connects to the esc,first electric heli doing my head in
any diagrams or pics would be appreciated

I have many Li-Po's but they only have a black - and a red + connection - these obviously connect to the black - and red + leads on the esc. marked battery.
There is no choice in this , if you connect them in reverse you will fry the esc.
There will be two other connections on the esc they go anyway round to get the motor to fire up in the correct direction.
If there are any other connections I can only think they are for balancing the cells. I had some on a Li-Ion battery I had and I just taped them out of the way .
Good Luck

i assume you are talking about the lipos from align for the rex the other plug is to charge them using a cell balancer.

they are deffo for cell balancing,and the esc and motor will have 3 wires and if you are using align esc and motor then its simply a case of joining the blue to blue ,red to red,and black to black.
