Max "safe" charge for that pack would be 5 amps. Safe Charge amps go by the Mah of the pack. IE: 1000Mah = 1amp 2000Mah = 2amps etc etc. |

Appreciate it thanks. I was also wondering what the volts should be at full charge.

I always go a little less than the max: On my 5000mah I charge at 4900 On my 800mah I charge at .7 Don't know if it helps but it can't hurt, just takes a little bit longer. |
