LI PO BATTERY HELP
I have an Electrify 650mA Li-Po battery
I also got the Electrifly PolyCharge (Dc only) charger
I can pick charge current 250ma, 500ma, 1000ma
What current should I pick and how long do I need to charge?
Also, do Li-po packs need to be discharged?
I figure it does since it has 2 sets of wires coming out of it (on labed CHARGE one labed DISCHARGE) but what do I plug into to discharge it if I have to?
any insight would help!
Thanks!

RE: LI PO BATTERY HELP
Well, you will not have to discharge as it is unnecessary. The charge current is usually 1C max so pick 500 ma and it will automatically shut offf when full. If the batt is discharged then it should take over an hr.
You can also charge thru the discharge connector and charge at 250 ma if you have time.
