A 2s lipo will charge to 8.4v, once it reaches 8.4v it will hold there and continue to charge. Once hitting 8.4v you'll see the charge amps slowly drop as the pack reaches full charge.

Once the charger shows 8.4v the pack is about 90% charged, you can stop the charge process at that point and run it if you wish.

Without more info I'll say use a 1C charge rate. mah capacity / 1000 = X amps

example.....5000mah / 1000 = 5amp charge rate.
