RE: A123 battery

what capacity are the combined cells? You can charge lipos at around 1c, A123 a bit quicker. A safe level would be if its a 4000mah pack I would charge at 4amps (that is 1c)- but you could probably charge at 20amps (5C).
I trust your charger has an A123 setting?

If it doesn't have a LiFe or A123 setting, then simple, don't charge them with it.

Yes, but if does have a life or lipo setting the ampage will also have to be set?............

If they are true A123 batteries then they can safely be charged up to 9.2 amps. (4C or 4X2300=9.2 amps)
