Hey I was hoping someone could explain to me how I could power my LED Light Strip off of my balance charge lead on my battery? What will I need and how will I need to solder the black and red wire from my LED wire strip to whatever is needed to go into my balance plug? Much Thanks in advance !

The balance ports on my 3S Lipo batteries are XH adapters as found on the E-Flite 3S batteries for the Blade4503d

You could use either of these or something similar.

Thanks once again, I just purchased both of those.
But I just have one question. that is if my LED light strip has one Black (-) and one Red (+) wire coming from it, how would the connection be made? Where would I need to solder my one red and black wire coming from my LED light strip to?
Below is what my current LED light strip looks like. There are two spots, one (-) and one (+0) to solder 2 wires to for a connection. I have the 3528 LED Light strips as I'm just starting to work with LEDs using these strips.
Thanks once again !

Usually the black wire on a 4 wire JST-xh connector is the ground. And the outermost 2 wires on a 3s pack will give you 12.6v or close to it on a fully charged pack.

Look close at the pic on the second link.
