Default Charger Question

I have a Ripmax Pro Peak Prodigy II charger with no instructions as I bought it used. I am using a Trak Power 4900 lipo battery that I run in my TC5. I have not used the charger as yet due to the lack of a power supply. A friend charged the battery last week at the track with his MRC 977. My question is what rate should I charge the battery and how long will it take? Also do you ever need to discharge a lipo via a discharger? I have a balancer for the charger and Lipo cut off on the car. Can I run the charger from a car battery for power as I run my starter box that way at the track when running nitro touring?

Thanks for all the help. Old to nitro but new to Lipos.
