Lipo Charging help needed.
#1
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

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.
