Default LiPo charging ??

I have the Team Orion Avionics Advanced charger, and I can set the MAH on it in 50mah increments. My question is this.. I have two electrifly 640mah LiPo's. Should I be charging it set to 600mah or 650mah? I'm guessing 600?

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

either would be fine, but I would go with 600 to err on the safe side

I have charged mine on a slightly higher rate without out any "immediate" damage, but as exeter_acres has said, it is safer to err on the low side and I usually do. Batteries are too expensive (and dangerous) to risk.

Thanks!! I figured it'd be best to stick with 600 then to be safe. These seem like a whole new ballgame compared to the good ole days of NiCd only LOL
