That would mean 5.8 amps for your 5800mah pack
It should take 60 minutes or so on a good charger / balancer

My fault used the wrong terminology there. By "dead flat" I mean I ran it in the truck until it quit.
And I would love to charge it at 5 amps, but I don't think the accucycle elite lets me go over 2, it initally wants to charge it at 1 but I moved it up to 2 and it won't go any farther than that.
I've had lipos in small rc planes over the years, but never had any issues with those.
What kind of run time do you folks get out of a 5000mah batt? My xxx-sct is stock motor/esc and stock gearing, nothing changed.
