LiPo Charger help
I am new to electric flight. I have a Spektrum radio flying a E-Yak-54. I bought a 1300 lipo battery and already had a Multiplex LN-5014 charger. It works, but takes nearly an hour to charge. What is the best/fastest charger for the field?
Thanks,
James
After reading some more it appears that an hour charging time for LiPo batteries is normal. If this is true, the charger I have is sufficient. True?

RE: LiPo Charger help
All LiPos can be charged at 1C or 1 times the capacity of the pack or less.
Only the [link=http://www.fmadirect.com/new_applications/BPHDSplashPG/index.htm]BalancePro HD[/link] line from FMA Direct can be charged at a 3C rate safely without degredation of the pack. This requires special Kokam cells and a BalancePro HD charger.
