Safe Charge Rate For Mini Slash/Revo Batteries?
 
Just got my mini slash today, and I have no intention of using the supplied charger. What is a safe charge rate for these mini packs (I got a second pak as well of course)? I have an adjustable rate peak charger I will be using. Thanks!, will post pics when I get home from work...

Those are 2/3A packs and many use 1 or 2 amps as the max rate. If in a hurry or don't care too much about fewer cycles then 2 amps will give a hotter powerfuller battery.

It is best to charge them at 1amp or even 1.5amp anything higher will shorten the life of the battery.

Traxxas recommends 1.2A normally, which seems pretty decent.
