what are the charge rates?

[angrylipo]

does anybody know the charge rates (amps or mah settings)for charging a
6.6v 4600mah
6.6v 2300 mah
9.9v 4600 mah
3.3v 4600mah
I'm sick of waiting an hour for them to charge when I know they can go faster:cool:

You can charge a pack in a 1P configuration at 7A "slow charge" and 10A fast charge , no problem. We do it all the time and I have packs of nearly 200trouble free racing cycles. 10A is what I always use to charge a 2P pack , and 7A for a 1P pack.

Some people charge at much higher rates , but if you have 2 packs for your model I don't see why anyone would do that since you can only race one pack at the time.

There are some that charge these cells at 20Amps with no problems. Personally I always charge my 1P packs at 10A. Takes about 13 minutes. Topping off takes a bit longer.

Yes correct , some race mates of mine also charge at 20A but their packs don't tend to last as long as mine. I have almost 200 cycles on my packs but their packs last about 70 cycles so I wouldn't recommend 20A 1P charging as a standard. Avoid if possible , 10A is fast enough. I don't top them off for practice driving , that also saves about 15 minutes charge time. Topping off only gives about 150mAh or so.
