I've got a CellPro 4S charger with the adapter for the Eflite battery on my Blade. FMA (the CellPro manufacturer) says you can balance charge good quality battery packs at 3C, otherwise 1C is recommended.

Now I can do that 3C rate with my batteries from FMA and my ThunderPower's, but does anybody know if it's okay to balance charge the provided Eflite battery at 3C?

Thanks!

It means he is "bumping" the thread to the top of the list so more people see it.

Well I appreciate your concern, but I am familiar with the normal charge rate for "standard" Li-Po batteries. Thus my question of whether or not the provided battery is of the same quality as the CellPro or ThunderPower packs.

I suspect that it is not and your question about the bump has been answered.
