Also, is it okay to charge batteries the night before a race/practice?
You can use storage mode at the full 5 amps, storage mode is the same as charge mode but it cuts out at 3.8 volts per cell instead of 4.2.
Charging the night before is fine, just if something happens and you done use a pack just make sure you discharge it to 3.8 rather then let it sit full until the next race.
It's a good idea to get yourself a cheap battery checker from your LHS or online, this way you can check your packs after a run, if their close to 3.8 there's no need to do anything, just plug into your balance port to check.
