Default RE: How to charge Lipo Battery??

That's not exactly correct. The LiPo that I just bought came with a charger which has two methods of powering it. 1. From a cigarette lighter in a car/truck/RV/whatever, and 2. from a wall-wart type charger. Granted, the wall wart charger was made for it, so it's appropriate, however, it IS slow.

I also have a Triton and an ICE charger. Both will do a full charge in about an hour, and yeah, after I checked, it can be safely charged at 1C. 1/10 C (.1 C) will do it, but it will take several hours. I don't fly electrics all that often, so I forgot that I DO charge using my ICE charger at 1C. Sorry, beachbrada, for the confusion or the incomplete information.
