Orion 5500 90c charge rate
 

Quick question, how many amps should I charge my Orion 5500 90c lipo at?

Thanks in advance

Its a 1C charge rate usually with lipos which means 1amp per 1000mah so:

5000 mah = 5.0amps which is 1C
5500 mah = 5.5amps which is 1C
6000 mah = 6.0amps which is 1C
You get the picture:thumbsup:

The battery manufacturers may say you can charge at upto 2c even 5c on the newer packs but personally cant see the need to risk the cells swelling / failing for saving time!

Dont forget your lipo sack;)

Thank you

I though it would be 5.5 amps, just wanted to check and be on the safe side :thumbsup:

Just to confirm for you 1C is perfect.

Also, I like your sig. KRO :)

Lol

Definately KEEP RIGHT ON :thumbsup:

Orions are sold on safely charging at 5A.

I'd agree and I charge mine @ 5A..

Dicko..

I have read you can charge at 5c?

yes, safely too ;)
