for those of you who have turnigy li-po...I have a charging question - 07.04.2010, 04:30 PM

I just purchased the new Hyperion duo 615i.... So, I normally charge my Turnigy 2c rated 5k 2s batts at 5amps. ( had to w/old charging set up ) They are rated to charge up to 10 amps (2c) My question is has anyone had any trouble charging them to 10amps? I am a little leary maxing them out that's all.

My Turnigy 5k 5s batts are rated to 5C! So I am not worried about charging them at 10 amps...

Just being cautious I guess...and a little paranoid.

I have some Turnigy 5Ah 4s and 5s packs rated for 2C charging as well. My charger will only go to 8A, but I've charged at that rate a ton of times with no problems.

I did charge the 2s 5k 2c pack at 8.5 amps w/out a hitch. Nice to cut my charge time almost in half!

I probably won't go higher than 9amps with any 2c batt..just to be safe.

I charge all my Turnigy packs at 10amps on my Duo615. Haven't had a problem yet!
