Just connect the battery to the regular plug (the one that plugs into your ESC) The small plug on the lipo is a balancing plug used to equalize the cells. (you need a balancer to do this) This should be done to get the most life from your packs but not absolutely necessary. Then make sure to read the entire section on charging Lipo packs since charging them wrong can be dangerous. Set your charge rate (in amps) how many cells and you are set.
