The formula for charging is simple. Your charge rate should not exceed a 1C rate. This means that your 3300mAh pack (3.3 amp pack) should not be charged at a rate higher than 3.3 amps.

Your 1600mAh pack (1.6 amp pack) should not be charged at a rate above 1.6 amp.

Feel free to call Toll-Free (877-709-3835) or use the "LIve Help" feature on our website if you need additional information anytime.

Thanks,

Mike

the 1600 is 48 minutes
the 3300 is 99 minutes
