Well, if you are asking this, you are making me nervous. But, here we go. Make sure you have a lipo compatible charger. Then, depending the charger, ensure it is set for the amount of cells/lipo setting for your pack. Set your cycle rate....lipo packs are to be charged at 1C of the mah....in english, 1 amp for every 1000mah. If you are charging a Maxamps 6000 and your charger has the amp threshhold, you would set it at:
Toggle to "lipo"
set for 2 Cells
6 Amps if your charger can go that high...if not, the closest you can get it to that rate
6000 mah max rate (lockout)
If your charger allows, set for 8.4v cut-off.
Plug in, start. Monitor, check your pack every 15 minutes. At this rate, it should take 45 minutes to an hour. When finished, disconnect, plug into car and go...FASTER!
