5.2A at 1cell

it's still has a capacity of 5200mah, just half the voltage so 3.7v :)

Why not charge both together on balance setting so both sides get the same number of charges in case you want to use as a saddle pack in the future or sell them?

Thanks Big G:thumbsup:

RudolfXC,because im not buying 1s batterys when i can use a single saddle as a 1s

i need one on charge as i will be racing with the other one in the car:)
i will just ballance them when i get home:thumbsup:

Keep at 5.2A and switch to 1S (3.7V) and go.

im asuming you both mean 5.0 amps as its a 5000 not a 5200:)

They will probably be at different states of discharge and could take a while to balance. If using individually there is no need to balance them at all.

sorry. I must have been thinking of my own cells lol. 5.0A for 5000mah yes.

[neallewis]

Yes 5.0A! Sorry I just saw 5200 capacity, but just reread and you did say 5000mAh. General rule for charging is 1x capacity, or 1C. Some packs will state if they accept faster charging.

:thumbsup: no probs

they are LRP and im sure it says in the speal the saddles togeather can be charged at 5A and 3c......probably wont try that theough:lol:
