    That power supply from Turnigy would be more than adequate for your charger. At least it has 4mm outputs for your charger to plug into.
    For connecting to a battery in the car, I just soldered a 4mm female bullet into the handles of a couple of medium size alligator clips from Jaycar like these. Then you can plug the leads of the charger into the clips & attach them to the battery.


    Then, with the power supply, you can use the charger at home, & with the clips you can use it at the lake.

    Yes the balance plug must be connected to the balance port, as well as the main leads being connected.

    All the best.

        Why can't you balance your 2s packs on the charger. I don't understand. That charger will balance 2s packs. Don't let the fact that they don't have a 2s port bother you.
        If you are running Turnigy or Zippy or any other packs with the JST style balance plug you can plug it into any port. AS LONG AT YOU MAKE SURE THAT THE PLUG GOES INTO THE EXTREME RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE PORT.
        The right hand locating tab on the plug must line up with the right hand slot in the port. The other locating tab will just spread the port apart a little as it goes in. Some people slice the left hand tab off. But I never did.
        If you have packs that have plugs other than JST type then you will definitely need an adaptor.
        Cheers.
