Default Charger question.

I have a pro peak varipulse 2500vp. I just used my third set of batterys in my micro-t charger and dont want to buy more. I was wondering if i could just use the plug off the losi charger and charge the 150mah battery with the varipulse charger. My friend has the same car but a different charger and charges it at .5 amps. Will that work without harming my battery?
Thanx in advance, Aaron

I'm not familiar with specific battery, but if it's a tiny 150 mah then .5 is probably way too fast.

How about using rechargables in the charger?

Ok Well it has benn charged probably 50 times at .5 amps and is about 3-months old. I think i am probably just going to sharge it at .5 amps and see how long it takes to charge then how long it lasts. Thanx for your help.
