Default RE: max charge rate for 5-cell rx packs
ORIGINAL: 05FGMT/FIREHAMMER

i have a vs 5-cell 6v 3300mah rx pack for my fg mt. i have been using the traxxas revo charger to charge it but at a fixed 1 amp max it takes over 3 hours to charge. i have a new charger that can go 2 amps. will this hurt the batt or do you guys charge your packs at a higher rate. thanks for any replys.


O5FGMT/Firehammer,

3300 mah = 3.3amps at the 1 c rate-you can charge them at 3.3 amps for 1 hour = full charge.
You need a charger that can out put at least 4 amps...................
