Ok, I just read about this charger in few forums. Many ppl are happy with this charger. It has some very nice features. Looking at the instruction sheet it appears that you set battery capacity, not charge current while in Li-Po mode. Does this mean that if I have a 3700ma Li-Po pack, I can't charge it at less than the 1C rate?
1C is the maximum charge rate, so I'm thinking that charging at less than maximum might increase the life span of the packs. Don't think I'm alone on that thought. At home I'm in no rush, so why not charge at a lesser rate.

By the way, astroflight is not a CC/CV. Im looking for a CC/CV coz its better to charge you battery with this.
