Hello I have a question about charging this battery on a ICE charge

Does anyone know how I can charge it at say 6 amps? I can never get the pack to a full charge.

Last time I charged it at home it gave an error about time exceeded and stopped.

So I would like to know how I can increase the amps.

thanks,

it has nothing to do with how many amps you are charging at. it has to do with your settings. you should only charge at 1c to avoid really ugly issues. when a lipo charges, it gets to a certain voltage, right at 5v if i remember right. then if you watch it, the current will start dropping untill it hits something like .1 amps. mine shuts i off there. once you reach that peak voltage, the battery is prolly only going to take like a few hundred more milliamps after that, it is essencially full. make sure the capacity is set corectly for the battery.
