Haven’t heard yet from anyone needing accommodations for the upcoming Johnson City contest. We’d like to have the company and at the same time, save you money.

Secondly, I’m still kinda new to electrics. What is the best, fastest, (and safest) charging current for a 6S 5000mah battery? The values I use now take more than an hour to charge a battery.

Thanks
Duane

I have the battery on “Balance” setting, which I’m told, is best.

I charge mine at 2C which is 10 amps (10,000 milliamps) for 5000 mah batteries. It’s the best combination of safety and speed IMHO.

Correct. I ALWAYS balance charge. And I try to land with 3.7-3.8 volts per cell. And ALWAYS store your batteries at “storage voltage” - 3.80 volts per cell. Never leave a LiPo fully charged.
