charging amps ?
 
what is a good charging amp setting ? a 5s5000 hyperion 35c g3 on a eoso720inet . i just finished charging right now and had the amp setting at 10amps , took 18 mins and 29 secs. :surprised: and what would be a good setting for 2s 5000 lipos ?

If the pack isn't specifically labelled otherwise then 1C charge rate is the standard. So 5A for your 5000mah packs. Doesn't matter if it's a 2S or 5S, current is the same. Newer lipos often state they can be charged at 2C or greater, but again, if there is any doubt go with 1C. Also, there is some question about if charging at higher rates (2C and above) affect life/capacity of the pack. I haven't followed the discussions much myself and stick with 1C, but it's something worth looking into.
