i have the Team Losi box starter battery ( LOSB9821 ) but I'm not sure what settings to use for charging it and how long to charge it. I have a Bantam e-station LP6 charger. It asks me to set the cells and current. I know its a 4 cell battery but I'm not sure what to set the current as which settings range from 0.5 to 4.0 or what it means. And does anyone know if the charger will make any sound when the battery is done charging or should i just time it myself?
 
What is the capacity of the battery (mAH)? It is always a good idea imo to charge at the battery's capacity. If the battery is a 4000 mAH capacity charge it at 4 amps. Usually it will take about an hour to charge at that rate. If it is a lower capacity it is okay to charge at a lower rate.
 
Thanks for the help but sadly i found out that i waited too long to charge it and now my voltage is too low :( i wish i never bought it
