I tried searching the forum, as well as the Internet, but can't find any info on twin leads. My LHS sold me a Flight Power EVO-RX 1600mAH 2s 7.4V LiPo to use as a receiver battery for my 600N. The instruction sheet doesn't give any info on how to charge it or how to connect it. Do I have to charge both leads?

not positive as i don't own any flightpower packs but one lead is for charging/balancing and the other is for discharge. so one line to charger and the other to the battery connection on your tx.

One lead goes to Regulator/BEC the other is your charge lead.

Okay, there's actually THREE leads. What I was referring to was there's TWO leads with connectors that go into the receiver (the third one looks like it'll fit my balancer). Of the two other leads, one will have to plug into the Align 2 in 1, which in turn plugs into the receiver. I don't know what to do with the other receiver lead. Actually, I've already told my LHS I wanted to exchange it. He's ordering me a Thunder Power 7.4V 3400mAH receiver pack, which already has a JST connector which will plug right into the 2 in 1.

From the FP site:
All EVO RX packs are pre-fitted with two “JR” style connectors, one for plugging into your regulator, and one for charging at rates of up to 2.5C with an approved balancer, such as the V-Balancer.
Doesn't make any sense to me unless you were going to leave the battery installed.

I chopped off both sets and installed a JST connector to one so I could plug it into my Align 6A BEC.
