Your Lipo packs should be charged at 1C, (5 amps) regardless of how many cells unless it specifies on the pack that it can be charged at a higher rate.
So basically, just so I am straight...1C=5 amps. Now, my batteries are Turnigy 4S 5000mah, they say that they can be charged at 2C. Just so I am correct, they can be charged at 2C=10 amps. Am I correct on this one?
Also, when charging multiple batteries in parallel, how do I adjust the amps on that? Do I do 1C per battery or 1C overall? I know and have seen it done with this charger, just want to be sure before hand. Thanks again guys.
