Different batteries require different charge rates, you can’t just apply the lipo rules to every battery type, or even every version within a type.
I race mini z s and depending on the brand of cell and the class you are running you can charge the aaa s at up to 2 amps....
I found the magic temp for a aaa is 110 degrees....(sub c cell is 130 degrees)
Normally 1 c is fine.
I will discharge my cells at 3 amps....then let them rest(cool down) charge them at 1 amp....then repeak them at 2 amps right before a race....
I use Team Scream, TRP, and Peak aaa batteries.....
