Default Balance Tap Connector??

I have a A123, 2cell pack (6.6v)
The cell tap and wire has a standard JR type female plug (essentially it's a
standard 12" aileron extension (not your usual cell tap connector)

This is my problem;
- my balance board (Electrifly)has multiple sockets on it
- I want to use the 2s socket (male) it has 3 pins
- will the standard aileron extension which is the cell tap fit into this
male electrifly socket or do I have to reposition the brown,red and white
wires in the JR extension plug due to polarity?
- the plug fastens to the balance board snugly and is a good fit, just not
sure if the color coding on the JR plug is correct to use as it is?

E-mail Steve Anthony (www.hangtimes.com) and he will give you the proper wiring/color coding information.

I also have the NOBS A123 batteries and you have to swap the red and orange wires.

japan 3D, what is the purpose of the wires? Does a certain color wire go to a particular cell? How does the balancing work?
