Charging ?

[G-UNIT]

When the pack saids do not charge more then 5c, is that 5 amps?
Also for packs 5000mh 40c whats the best charging rate slow at say 3.5 amps or fast at 5 amps or even lower amprage.

No that means-5000x5c=25 amps charging. if the manufacture states 1c then you can charge at 5 amps maximum, 3.5 amps will take almost 2 hrs to charge, but it can be done if you have the time. 40c means the rate of discharge that that the pack can handle,eg 5000x40=200 amp discharge continuous, packs will normally have surge watts, so the same pack may have 50c surge, which will be 250 amps

So I can charge my lipos at 25 amps?
I'll have to check my charger and see if it even goes that high.
is that safe or what do you think is the best amperage to charge these at.

ok my charger can charge up to 6 amps.

I havent seen a charger more powerful than 10 amps

yea I guess not that would be crazy

Great thread but it would fit better under Battery Talk so you can get greater conversation out of it.....
