Lipo Charging help needed.
 
I have just purchased a Onyx 230 charger, and I have a SPC 3S LIPO 5000 MAH 11.1volt 15c battery, what settings should I have on my charger to charge this correctly? Not looking for a super fast quick charge, just wanting a charge that will keep the batteries in good shape.

I also have a Astroflight Blinky Balancer, would you recommend that I plug this into my pack everytime I charge it? Any help would be appreciated on this, as I am rather new to the lipo scene. Thanks

Charge it at 1c which would be 5amps.

5000mah= 5 amps
2300mah+ 2.3 amps and so on.:)

Set charger for lipo mode, 3S (3 cells) and 5000mah for capacity. Charger should do the rest and should charge at 5amps which is a 1C charg rate as mentioned above.

I charge and balance everytime since my balancing charger makes it easy to do. I would start out this way and if Blinky indicates its not doing any balancing, then you might consider skipping a few charges between balancing.
