If i'm wrong tell me, 1c is = to 4amps right, but my batts are only 9000 mah and they say I can charge them at 20 amps even if other people say that you should divide the amount of mah by 1000 an charge your batts at that amperage! please help me I am LOST IN THIS! NITRO IS MUCH SIMPLER BUT NOT AS FUN!! AAAARRGGGG

Thanks for helping.

Back to the original topic here. He did purchase a MAXAMPS lipo.... and if you guys know anything about them they have a 300 cycle guarntee. so if you want my opinion then charge it how ever you want to. charge at the highest possible c rating that maxamps suggests cause if it is true that it shortens the life span then guess what. you just got a brand new lipo for free. and if it is true that it does not affect the battery well then it was a good test and will prove the fact. either way its your battery do what you want with it. its the only battery on the market that will get replaced if it doesnt make it to 300 cycles.......
