Default Another lipo charging question

Sorry if this has been covered...I promised I searched.

Ok, so I'm just now coming back to RC after a long hiatus, so I'm new to lipo. I bought a Passport Ultra charger, and the manual is less than detailed, to put it mildly. It has the settings etc. in there, but it assumes that you already know what they all mean, and just need to get to them.

Anyway, I"m not sure what to set the various parameters too. For example, if I have a 5000MAH 35C battery, what is a good number to set the max MAH cutoff at? Do you use 5000, or do you need some headroom in that setting? In general, I can't find any info on the details of charging. I've found general stuff (don't store them fully charges, balance them, don't ove-charge etc.) but no details.

Maybe there is a link someone could point me to for performance-focused charging and care of lipo's?

Thanks!
