Default Battery charging

I'm using the stock battery packs. I would like to know what are good charging settings, without causing battery damage???

I like to charge at .5 amps or less to keep heat down. Heat kills electronics.

When you can, get rid of those green peas!! They aren't worth the time to charge. I once had (4) four peas and (2) two stock chargers. .....dunno what I was thinking 'cause I was unfamiliar with the LiPo's.... I kept getting so frustrated with the unrealistic 4 minutes of ACTUAL flying time so I went out and bought (3) three 1320 Thunder Power Lipo's and the Hobbico AccuCycle elite charger which will charge (2) batteries at the same time. I spent some loot, that's fer sure but it was loot well spent. I get 13+ minutes SOLID with each battery and by the time I cool down my Axe after each run, I never run out of "battery time."
