Charging at high C rates

So, surely, it would need it then?

My charger gives a % charged status, I would have thought that it is just for that. Surely, it detects when each cell is fully charged by the Voltage (similar to a NiMh).

Lipo chargers work on the constant current, constant voltage charge method. it shouldn't matter what you set the capacity too on the charger. If it does have a safety shut off for capacity it wouldn't work so I would read the instruction sheet and pay close attention while you are doing it, but it should work just fine.

Thanks guys, 3 positive opinions from such regarded members, I'll give it a go. I'll post back here to let people know how it went (just need to get my Lipos first).
