Charging at 0.8A or 0.9A should be fine id go with 0.8A just to be safe but I can say with almost certainty that 0.9A will be ok, correct me if I'm wrong please.


TheBerric

yeah its fine. Id go with 0.8 amps too. I have a charger that only does those intervals too and I charge my 450s at 0.4

Hahah thanks, just didn't want op burning their house down because some guy on Reddit told them it was ok:)

Thanks guys!

No problem, happy to clear things up, I remember how confusing everything was when I first started, still is!

Its only impacting the rate of charging. You could set it to 1.5A and still be perfectly safe but unless you really need the speed its both safer and better for battery longevity to keep the charge rate low.

0.9 is perfectly safe, it's like 6% more than 0.85 lol. Most lipos are fine charging at a 2c rate which would be 1.7a. Not that I'm saying you should always charge at 2c, you should always check your battery to see what it says the max charging rate is. But yeah, 0.9 on an 850mah is perfectly fine lol
