I have a Team Orion 2S 3800mAh Lipo and that the back of the battery, it says DO NOT charge battery at less than 1C or more than 2C.
Does that mean I can not charge it at less than 3.8A.
my power supply sucks and i can only charge it at 3.0A

I charge my lipos at slightly less than 1C, (0.9C) and you'll be charging at (~0.79C). I did my first few charges at like (0.8C). I've seen no ill effects after....5 cycles, lol

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.
