      Can't see the markings on the charger and not familiar with that one, but it looks typical for how the connections should be.

        As far as the connections go, yes, as long as you keep the rate to 2.2amps and set to 3s youre golden

          Thanks, just wasn't sure if I needed to have the EC3 plug connected or not or if charging was only done thru the balance plug being connected to the balance board.

            The charging is done primarily through the battery terminals (constant-current charging, then constant-voltage), individual cells through the balancing board.
