Don't confuse between 1C and 1S

C is the charge rating in Amps

S is the no of cell count and in your case is 2

Your is a 2S (7.4v) 5000mah pack to be charged at 2S (7.4v) at 1C (5.0amps)...

just fyi 1C is not 1A.

for example if your battery is

3800mAh you charge at 3.8A
4000mAh you charge at 4.0A
5000mAh you charge at 5.0A

your lipo is indeed 2 cell. so your selection has to be 7.4V in series as each cell is 3.7V.

Can't find the exact charger on muchmore's website, if you are sure that the charger maximum is 1.0amp for lipo then you are out of luck... Which means you will need 300mins to charge your 5000mah pack at1.0amp, so you will need to charge 4 times and each time 90mins...

If you are absolutely sure your charger can only put out 1.0amp then you will need to charge it a few times to reach your pack's full capacity, it will not damage your pack but it will take a long time to charge.

It is like filling up a swimming pool with a bucket...

From the website I gave you it seems your charger is capable to charge at 10.0amp leh...

Page E12, Section 13 LI-ION CHG

Can't you change the charging amp to something higher than 1.0A on the 4th screen?
