Status: offline 		The balance charger is only a 800Mah, but the wall charger only is 700Mah, so it takes over an hour. You will get a slightly faster charge will a higher 12 volt output of 800 Mah or higher on a 12v car battery, but not much. Don't undercharge and fly unless you keep an eye on the voltage. If run down to 3.2 volts per cell (or one cell is at 3.2v) stop and recharge. You will damage the LiPo by running the voltage too low. Your max charge rate will be 1.0 amp for a 1000Mah LiPo, so it the fastest charge you can apply safely to your LiPo with a better charger. Roughly thats a one hour charge.
