For rx batts you don't want punch, you want time, so they're not generally not charged at over 1amp, versus the 1C guideline. You'll get better life at the lower charge rate too. When I have time, I charge mine at 0.5a - 1a is considered a fast charge and 0.5a a slow charge for rx batts.

You can use the 1.5a rate if they're not getting hot if yu don't care how long they last (cycles). Mine would be too hot charging at 1C.


Everything else looks fine.
