Default Which setting to charge a lipo at?

Hi all,

I recently made the switch to lipos but im not too sure what setting to use on my charger? I have the Multiplex LN-5014, and am trying to charge a 3 cell 730 mah lipo, when i go through the lipo menus on the charger, it jumps up from 700 to 750 mah, can anyone tell me which would be most suited to this battery?

Many thanks

I have the same charger and when I charge a small lipo, I go the 1 step under.
Charge it at 700. It's better to charge slower for a little longer than a little faster and push past the 1c rate.
