Lipo charging question

[nastety92]

I have a new to me set of Reedy 2s 5000mah 35c lipos.

When I go to charge these what amp rating should they be charging at?

Also, what is the difference from charging them at 1.00amp compared to 5.50amps?

Thanks for the help,
Nick

I can't find anything that says they are fast charge capable, so stick to a 1C charge rate, which would be 5A since it's a 5000mAH pack.

A 1A charge would be 1/5C rate. The only difference is it would take 5 times as long to charge your battery.

Either way triple check that the charger is set for a 2s lipo pack.

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.

I just checked it is set for 2s but I had the option to switch the amp charging rate and I wanted to make sure it was right before I started.

Thanks again,
Nick
