I currently charge my turnigy batteries at 5amps using the accucel 6. Can I charge them at a higher amperage safely? The batteries I have are all 2s. 5000mah 40c, 5800mah 25c and 6000mah 25c

you could charge your batteries a 2C and MAYBE 3C (C*ah/1000=amps) but the accucel 6 is already at it's limits with 5A.

that's what most people do.
I have the accucel and it's a great little chargers but don't push it, get a nice charger and power supply if you want to charge at over 5A, hyperions are good although i've never used them.
