I thought you're not supposed to trickle charge lipos?

■** Never trickle charge a Li-Po battery. Over-voltage from trickle charging will destroy your Li-Po and can explode the pack. Medium charge rates are calculated at .5 maximum C. Debate continues over the benefits of charging Li-Pos at medium rates but there is no data to support that it causes any harm provided you always use a charger made for Li-Po batteries with the correct charge termination methods. See the Batteries and Chargers sections for more information about battery charging.]
