Another silly question
I'm a newb at lipo, as made obvious by the thread I just made a few minutes ago..
I bought a new lipo battery and a new charger, It is a 2s 7.4Volt 5000mah battery..
I double checked made sure my charger was set for 2s 5000mah..
but when the reading on the charger got to around 2400mah, it beeped and said charge complete...
What am I doing wrong ?/ !

Nope you're fine. That just means that it needed 2400mAh to be fully charged.

Someone may have already mentioned this, but here goes anyway...
I noticed the two posts you made and you also mentioned that electric R/C is new to you. I thought it might be worth bringing up that if I'm not mistaken the SC-15 ESC that comes with your Blitz, doesn't have a built in LiPO cut-off. This is serious business as you could over discharge the battery. Not only could this damage the battery, it could end in catastrophe.
Just an FYI,
