Default Lipo Balance Plugs

I have searched and searched and can't find my answer.

What is the difference between all the balance taps. My current lipo's are the Turnigy and Flight max packs from Japan that have the JST plug. I am looking to get some new packs, but my options for the balance plug is Align, TP or Poly RC. Are any of these 3 the same as the JST plug? Just curious if I am going to have to buy another lipo balancer also. I could not find a wiring diagram for reference.

Thanks for the help

You want align if you are setting stuff up new to match your JST, it is a pretty common standard. It is .1" pin spacing with no gaps. TP is 2mm pin spacing, and hyperion / polyRC is .1" but they skip one pin for some odd reason.

I used Turnigy/FlightMax, Align, Thunder Power, Outrage and Voltz batteries to fly my helicopters. I used a balancer adaptor to balance charge these batteries with my 3010b iCharger.
