Help! Thunder Power 425 Charger and 205V Balancer

I have the Thunder Power 425 charger to charge my LiPo batteries and I'm about to buy some 1320 maH Pro Lites. As a result, I'm also planning on buying the 205V Thunder Power balancer. I downloaded the instructions, but they're a little vague to me as most of the stuff with electrics seems to be. Anyways, I was wondering if I can use this balancer with my charger when I charge the batteries or do I need to use them separately?

Also, I'd like to get one of the new Fliton Andrew Jesky Extras. I would like to use one of the 3400 maH Xtreme Packs from TP since it has a higher C rating for continuous discharge than the Flight Power Evo packs and is lighter. Could I use both my charger and balancer on those packs as well?

You can use them together. The 205V plugs into the balance tap of the 1320, and the charger plugs into the main battery leads. With this configuration,
the 205V acts as a passive device with the charger.

Yes, but here's the catch. The 425 Thunder Power charger can only charge up to 2.5 amps. You won't be able to charge the 3400's at 1C. Also remember that the 425 charger can only charge up to 4S @ 2.5 amps max. I believe the EVO pack possess the same JST connector as the Thunder Power.

I was planning on just using the 3S version. I may invest in the 1010C charger later on though.

And thanks for answering my questions.
