Charge at 5.4 Amps.
Don't worry about discharge current or voltage, you don't need to discharge a LiPO.
Don't worry about cutoff temp, the temp sensors can only be put on NiMH batteries.
Put max charge capacity at 90 or 100% and Charge in CC-CV mode.

What ever they are set at is fine since you won't be discharging anyway. I would set the higher than you would actually want it to discharge to ie 3v/cell. That way if it does go into discharge you won't kill your battery by over discharge.

You can use the temp sensor. I use it on my orion packs. Set at 90 deg. Never been close to shutoff at that temp.

The temp probe on the Ice is pretty poor for batt temp anyway - it lags behind actual temp pretty badly. I've always had to set mine 15-20F lower than the actual temp I wanted it to use as a cutoff. I used raytech gun for reference temps and Ice probe was consistently low, too low.

This was made even mor eobvious when I got temp probe for my Hyperion 0610iNet charger - the response is much better and floows temps indicated buy my raytech gun within 3-5F.
