For now, I'm not so sure. But I have an idea - let my ICE charge the 5s2p pack as a 10 cell NiMh pack at the full 8 amps. I don't know when the ICE will cut off for the voltage getting too high, but when it does I'll swap the pack over to my Multiplex LN-5014 charger and charge it at the maximum amp rate until it reaches 18v.

Later on (in a couple weeks or so) I'll get an Astroflight 109. Word on the street is that AF is working on a new chip for the 109 that will allow you to charge A123 cells to 3.6v/cell.

As far as low Ah for the physical size, I'm not worried. The way I see it, as long as it's better than NiMh, then it's all good.
