hmmm... thats a strange one.

Usually red will be positive, black will be negative. Maybe there are just two negative wires (to prevent it being inserted with the wrong polarity perhaps). I guess the easiest way to find out would be with a multimeter, check the voltage between the different wires and check if the black wires are connected together.

Hope this helps  :)

If it's a two cell lipo, those 3 wires could be the balancing tap.

the one black at the on side is ground...
the middle is the first cell so you must get a voltage round 3V and at the red you get around 6V to 7V
