RE: Lipo chargeing questions
The general recommendation is to charge at 1C rate, 1x the capacity of the pack.
So your pack which is a 1500ma, would be charged at 1.5 amps.
Also do not leave the pack unattended, and preferably charge it in a fire proof container or surface, away from anything flammable.

RE: Lipo chargeing questions
OK thank you. How are those chargeing bags? are they worth the money? or is there a better way to go? What about placeing them in like a ceramic jar while they charge?
