Should be fine as it is for a few weeks... I had a lipo in my box for almost 6 months full charged, pulled it out ran it down works just like the others. I've never discharged a lipo on the charger but I think anywhere from 10-20 amps would be fine, your car draws much higher discharge rates then that.
