Most chargers like the ice use the mah to set the charge rate. It usually charges at 1c which for a 250 mah lipo would be .25 amps. A 1000 mah lipo would charge at 1 amp. Just pick the 200 milliamp setting and it will charge at .2 amps. Most lipo's like to be charged at 1c unless it says different, and some of the new ones can be charged at higher rates. But for longevity pick the lower rate and your lipo will thank you with longer life.

that Thunder Power is good for a 4c rate charge also http://thunderpowerrc.com/PDF/Thunde...RC-Pricing.pdf so either setting is fine.
