A couple of quick lipo charging questions.

Will I still be able to fully charge the battery but it will just take longer?
Will I damage the battery, shorten its life or reduce the performance with charging at 5.0 mah?
Thanks,
Mike
Oh great, now manufacturers are quoting 6500C on their batts but in all seriousness, it is OK to charge at lower than 1C rate, just takes longer.
