Default Is it just me, or are charger / LiPo instructions really complicated for noobs?

I consider myself a fairly intelligent person, but crikey those instructions are complicated.
I have recently bought 2 chargers - one for me and one for my son. Both from different manufacturers, and both capable of charging all battery types. Therefore they include various cables as well as balance boards.
However, I have read and reread the instructions and neither even alludes to the presence of the balance board or which of the variety of various sized ports should be used!!
I think so far that I need to charge my 4400mAh LiPo saddle pack at 4.4A as they are 1C on the case. I presume I need to use the balance cable (2 main wires - red/black, linked with 3 thin wires - red/black/white and 4*4mm gold plug type connectors, 1 small plug type connector and 1 white plastic plug with 3 pins), but no instruction given as to how. Is there a simple set up sheet anywhere for how to balance charge LiPo saddle packs?
I have searched this forum and found lots of discussions about this topic but couldn't find a simple set up sheet anywhere - does anyone have one that they'd be willing to share please?
