Default RE: New 1100 mAh A123 available everywhere and no word here!

For 3S and 4S A123 1100 packs, what manual charge total time should I use if the charger is set for 3.6v and 5 amps? Or should I just trust the charger to do it automatically sensing for a full charge?
3.6v as a LiPoly charger which charges to 4.1 or a A123 charger which charges to 3.6?

In general foamies such as sold by Fancyfoam.com are the min. size for 1100 A123s. I use to fly these with 3Sn 1320 LiPolys but use 4S 1100 A123s now. They are aprox. 3 oz. heavierie but fly fine.

MiniUltra Stick flys great on 3S A123 2300 with Hacker A30-16M / 12X8 prop.

A123s are not for all planes or everyone. Sure are a lot lighter than Ni batteires.
