Status: offline 		Yea, since you can't adjust the delta peak cutoff then idk. I [if you have the money] would invest in a charger like the duratrax pirahna digital peak.

My guess would be that it won't damage your batteries but with those high quality 3700 mah batteries I would just invest in a better charger.

Status: offline 		here's how it goes... low amps- less power, but longer run time
more amps- more power, shorter run time, and battery life will be shorter

Status: offline 		The Ice is a very good charger, it will charge up to 8A and discharge at up to 10A. It does not work with AC power, so if you plan on that you will need a power supply. I only have two complaints, the discharge rate could be higher, and the screen could be backlit. Very minor problems when considering the price.
