any difference (in terms of performance and runtime, etc) if charged at 5C or 1C?
does LiFe hold its charge well like Lipo or it'll 'drain-off' by itself like NiMh when not in use for 1-2weeks?
The battery can be charged at 15c with no damage and no loss of run time but like all batteries i recommend the lowest possible thats just me the slower the better .
picture a cylinder like an oxy tank ok the slower you fill it the better chance of filling all the capacity gaps right ?that's the same way with batteries less heat less damage to cells because try filling the tank at full speed it will either explode or have structural damage .Not saying that the bettery will get damage because it wont as they have been tested at 15c but i still recommened slow charge gives you a clear mind thats all .nothing like having a clear head before and during a A main final.
no they dont lose there voltage like nimh so as they have a longer shelf life than any other battery type
i hope this helps you .
