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?

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

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.

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.

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:
