Default RE: Help charging LiPos.


ORIGINAL: SyCo_VeNoM

The lipos should have a charge rate somewhere on them like charge at 2C or similar

If not to play it safe charge at 1C which would be the capacity of the pack. Like the 4500mah lipo would be 4.5Amps, and the 5800mah lipo would be 5.8amps (this one might need lower or even half unless you have a VERY nice charger as most like the 60watt chargers can't cope with 5S at that current)
I have always charged my 4S 4500mAh at 4.5amps but recently someone has said to lower the amps to make the battery last longer and for a safer charge?

Shall I charge the 5S 5800 mAh at 2.9amps to be on the safe side then?
