No, you can charge any capacity - you will only be able to charge at 5amps since its the chargers max charge rate. If you have an 8000mah 2S lipo, you can charge it at 5amps, it will just take a little longer to charge fully. The charger asks for the lipo capacity to calculate a 1C charge rate, if thats larger than teh charger can charge at, it will just use the max charge rate of 5amps.
