The balancing tap on the battery plugs into the balacing port of the charger. The "regular" ends of the charger and battery hook up as normal.
The balancing portion of things allows the charger to see each cell of the battery pack and alter the amount of power going to each one. That way it can see one getting charged slower than the others and bring it back in line.
There are simple precautions to take with LiPo's...the same precautions that should be taken with other batteries in fact...but "regular" batteries don't burst into flames if you treat them badly and over charge them.
LiPo batteries are no different from other batteries. A large voltage battery will result in a high ROF and quick trigger response. A large capacity battery will result in a higher ROF and all day shooting goodness.
LiPo's have the characteristics of being able to store and discharge power that delivers the effects of larger batteries in a smaller format.
So in "stock tube" setups or AEGs that just don't have the space for larger batteries, LiPo's can offer an alternative that will provide a good rate of power in a small form factor.
There's other LiPo threads where some of this has been covered.
