Whilst we're on the subject of charging, current 'best practice' advice would suggest a maximum charge rate of 1C for a LiPo cell.
If you're confused about the 'C' rating - 1C is the equivalent of 1x the pack capacity. i.e. 1C for a 3200mAh = 3.2A whereas 1C for a 5000mAh pack is 5A.
I have a Core RC UDC20 Balance Charger - it does NiMHs and a load of other stuff too. Would highly recommend it for anything and especially LiPo. For £54.95 it's good value - especially as it has a balance charge mode and comes with a stack of different balance leads.
