Default Charging with Lipo-502 charger

Hi
I purchased the Lipo-502 charger and power supply in Toledo this year, along with Kokam 11.1V 1500 mAh batteries.
My question is what is a safe setting at the chargeing rate, I have been using the 1.0 amp setting, can I charge at the 2.5 amp setting, or am I looking at fire danger using that setting?


Thanks in advance

Hi Bill,

You can charge at a rate equal to or less than the pack capacity. In your case, that is 1.5amps or less.

Typically, the charge runs from 30 to 45 minutes.
