Thanks guys! Everything was ice cold at the end of the charge cycle so I figured it could be charged atleast a little faster. The 1300mAH = 1.3 amp makes so much sense! Thanks Again! |

with lipo's it SHOULD be ice cold at the end of the charge cycle AND during the cycle or something is very wrong.

1.3 amps would be the max that I'd charge those. Some of the higher end batteries can be charged at a higher amperage. The SMC's that I use in my 2.2 comp'er are rated at 2c charge & I've been told are capable of handling a 3c charge. I stick to the 2c, though. Let me tell you, a 850mah pack at 1.6amp charges in no time at all! |
