Status: offline 		This may be the wrong forum, but I bought a pair of batteries from www.hobbyking.com and after reading some more, I saw that in the description it said that the max charge rate is 2C. Does that mean per cell? It's 5000mAh so wouldn't 5 amps be the perfect charge rate? Am I making any sense? hahaha

Thanks,

Status: offline 		just remember that is max recommended IMO would still be 1C which would be 5A's
or if you have a charger that can do 6A's that wouldn't hurt it either.

OP says that in the description it is 2C max , not 1C.

sorry didn't proof read it before hitting submit.
I meant:
Just remember that is the max rate. Recommended IMO still would be at 1C which would be 5A's

I think way faster than I can type, and occasionally skip words or mix em up
I usually catch it, and edit it before anyone can reply though. Also don't help I was up since 3pm yesterday.
