its your choice on how you want to charge them I prefer 5amps 4s. One thing I did notice when charging each pack individually one pack would dump just before the other IDK why same packs, age, and run time, but it always did after I a made a wiring hardness to charge and balance as a set i never had that issue again. But as a precaution bump up your lipo cut off to 12.8v instead of 12v. I feel 12v is almost to low for these cars you'll know when its coming because the car can hardly move under its own power.
