Hyperion Eos0720i net charger
My question is how do I set up my Hyperion Eos0720i net charger to charge 5C on my lipo battery? The Lipo that I have is: Hyperion 5s/18.5 5500mAh.

When your setting up your batteries profile, you will need to select Lipo, then 5s, 5500Mah, and then when it comes to charge rate see how high the charger lets you select on amperage, I dont have that one in particular, but did read the claim of 5C you mentioned. You will definately have to plug it into the balancer. My Dou2 will only let me charge a 5000Mah at 2C, or 10 amp max, which is fine with me. From everything I've read, going over 2C shortens the batteries life anyway. Just because the battery manufactures says a 5C rate is possible, doesn't mean its a good thing to do all the time.

I'm not sure if all the 720's came with 5C charging firmware, I just don't know.

+2 The 250w power limit will kick in before the amp limit. You can only do a little over 2C at full voltage, a little higher at the beginning of a discharged cycle.

I am curious then how to set it up to charge 2C then? What would be the settings?

Really there's no mystery involved with setting these chargers for 2C. You set up your cell type, cell count, Mah rating of the cell, then when it comes to charge current, set it for 2C thats it! For exmple my old ice charger will only allow you to set a 5000Mah pack at 5amps, or 1C charge rate. My Dou2 will let me set the same pack at 10amps as long as the balancer is plugged in. These hyperion chargers have the balance accessories built in, more chargers are coming out with the same features

If this is like my 0610iNet, then you go to user setup. There is a setting for "lipo max C" and its 1, 2, 3 for 1C, 2C charge rates.
Then just set up as normal and after specifying number of cells and mah, it will apply the "lipo max c" that you selected in user setup.
Would guess the 0720i would do something similar to my 0610i.
