Flightpower RX pack.Need help/advice

[Whizzbang]

I have a FlightPower EVO-RX 3000mah 2s2p 7.4.(receiver pack)
It as a balance lead and 2 JR servo plugs/leads,for connection to RX.There was no instructions on connection to radio gear.I do not know why there are is 2 servo leads.
A friend said the reason is,some RX`s will accept both plugs to be connected so if a cell becomes faulty in flight the other lead to battery will still provide 7.4v.All you need is a spare slot in the RX.
I have no idea if that is correct.
This brings me to the next problem.I will need to connect the pack to a regulator and not the RX.So i will not need both the leads.is is possible or ok to join both together,sort of doubling the thin wire in a way,or will that increase the pack voltage to 14.8.I get confused with paralel and series.I have to replace jr/futaba plug for a deans style connector.

It is. You can also leave the lipo connected and charge the pack without taking it out of the helicopter this way. (Not suggested)

Well if you crossed the wires you would get 14 volts but I would run it with 7.4 ;) I would leave one lead with the JR connector and one on the deans myself.

Thanks for the reply.I will put a deans on 1 lead only.
Just seems funny having a deans on those thin wires.The wires from the regulater are apx 4 times thicker.seems odd.
