i charge my 5000 25c at 1 amp sometimes, it just takes a long time to charge . i think it took almost an hour at 1 amp. i would call them and find out , maybe its because some chargers as default have a timed charge for lipos. one charger i use has a time out time at 120min just for safety .
call them, it couldnt hurt.
Would it not take 5 hours at 1 amp for your 5000mah pack? just saying.
if it were comletly dead yea , but i have my lipo cut off set high and it usually takes an hour. i also dont wait for the cutoff to tell me its dead too , i usually after 15 min running i ballance charge them back up. the 5000 i use are only for racing, also as the heats are IFMAR run so there not that long on the battery between heats
