How? I can’t find any YouTube videos I’m very confused and need to know what AMP to charge the battery I listed on the title.

If you are going to charge it at 2C, that would be 10.4 amps. 1C charge rate would be 5.2 amps.

my charger is the onyx 245 charger and I used it a while ago but don’t remember how to use it and I can’t find the information I need on the manual. And Simone said “if your charging a 3s lipo you can only charge it up to (3.33 amps)”

the number of cells don't determine the charge rate. The "C" rating gives that distinction. You could theoretically charge at 30C but it would destroy the battery in a short amount of cycles. The 3S means you need to charge it up for nearly 12 volts. Charge your battery at 8 amps @ 4.15 volts per cell and you'll be fine. Google your charger and find the manual that way.
