|  Lipo charging
I just started running lipo i have a 2 cell 2070mah and i am wondering what to charge it at 2000 or 2100? im using a ice charger and i cant get it to do 2070 and dont know if it can. i can only get it to do increments of a 100 (2000,2100,2200 etc) and i know lipos are touchy and can not be over charged so i have been just doing the 2000 setting which would be under charging it. so what would you guys recommend?

What brand of battery is it? Most are rated to charge at up to 1c, but some may take a higher charge. Outside of that, given a choice of 2 amps or 2.1 amps, I would go with 2. Charing it at a lesser rate isn't going to damage the battery in any way, and the charge time difference isn't going to be significant.

x2. Charge it at 2 amps. No sense risking the battery to save a few minutes.

Always charge a lipo at or below 1C. It's not worth the risk trying to save a few minutes. A123 cells can be charged at 2C, but that's a different animal all together.
