What are taps?

[Ryu James]

when referring to "taps" on a lipo battery is that just meaning the balancing tab? or are taps something different?

[What's_nitro?]

It refers to the group of smaller wires that exit the battery with the main leads. They are "tapped" into the tabs of the individual cells to allow for balancing.

Generally I use the term to descrive the balancing plug. The little metal thingys that are soldered together between the cells are called tabs. I can see where it may get confusing. Better to call the balance connector a plug, and the metal things tabs.
