You must use a lithium-specific charger. There is no "threshold" or any such nickel-cell stuff. :) The lipo chargers know what to do.. they charge to a specific voltage (4.20 volts per cell typically) and hold the voltage steady and slowly drop the amps down to zero.

Yes... you can charge at 1c... which is 8 amps for the 8000mah (8 amp-hour) packs.

Yes... you can put the packs on the charger right after the run... never discharge the lipo before charging under normal operation.

Definitely get up to speed on the lipos.... it's a different ballgame than nimhs.

EDIT: aahhrr beat to the punch again. too many fast guys here :)
