Not more than 1.5A.
And never faster than you need. Small currents are a LiPo's friend. |

Personally I would not go over .5A
I know lots of companies are saying that you can charge them faster... but It is a bit harder on the packs. |

500 mAh battery is a .5 amp hour battery.
A 1C charge rate is .5 amps for about 1 hour. A 2C charge rate is 1 amp for about 30 minutes. A 3C charge rate is 1.5 amps for about 20 minutes. Check your pack specs and see what charge rate is your maximum! http://sites.google.com/site/tjinguy...arging-how-tos |
