Default First time charging of li-poly

This will be the first time charge for me.


Ok I have a Apache 2500 smart charger and a thunder power 1900 3cell pack.

Should this battery be charged at 1700mA or 2000mA.

1700 would be fine, however the correct 1C rate would be 1900.

Later;

Brian,

The Apache 2500 is probably the best deal currently on the market. A great charger for so little cost.

Either setting will work fine on the TP 1900 pack. Be sure to triple check your cell count settings and never leave a charging Lithium pack unattended.

Good luck!
