Default ok to charge fling battery at .1ah?

Guy I got another glider, a great planes fling and I also got the reccomended 2/3aaa 350mah battery pack for it. Manufacture say only charge at 40mah but my charger will only go down to 100mah.
Just hoping some of you all with experience with this pack might be able to chime in.
Thanks

40mah represents .1C charge rate which is always the best. If 100mah is the lowest you can do, it will be fine, = say .3C which will not cause any heating issue, or damage. Consider it a mild fast charge. Obviously your charger is a peak detection charger which will avert any damage.

Your fine.

Hope this helps.

What kind of charger are you using? Is this a peak detection charger that automtically shuts off when the pack is charged?

As stated above, .3C, about 100mah should be fine
