What Amperage to Charge Your Battery at?

[Shaun]

I have seen these questions posted a ton of times.

Here is a little chart that I made up, hopefully this will cut down on the number of "what do I charge my new battery at" post.

Warning, this chart should only be used with Sub C, 2/3A, and LIPO cells.

The fact that such a chart needs to be created is sad......................just sad.

So Shaun,should I charge my 2500 Energizer AA's at 2.5?.....

Only if you want them to pop a top.:lol:

Nice chart,but it doesn't cover ALL cells. Sub C's maybe.

 

[EeePee]

Sub C's maybe.

Lipo cells.

Well, now thats a different story.

This should would fine for 2/3A, LIPO, and sub C cells.


I'm just trying to do a little something to help out the new guys.

 

[Reflection]

Lipo cells.

True. I'd have to agree Robb. 10 minutes reading the stickies and all of this is explained in great detail.

Well, now thats a different story.

Why is it a different story?

According to your "chart"....a battery is a battery and they all get charged the same. An AA sized cell is just as much a battery as a sub C or lipo.
