I see one person in particular always posting about the astroflight 109 being much faster than the ICE. I don't understand how that could be true. When charging the packs C rating is always taken into account. For the Maxamps it is 1C so for my 5500 that is 5.5 amps. So how could any charger be faster than another. The ice will charge at 1C until the pack reaches it's charge voltage and then starts tapering off on the current. Isn't that how all Lipo chargers work?
