Ok everyone. I finally got my batteries in today.

Charging a 5000 mah at 1 amp which from what i understand is 1/5c. Correct?

Max Voltage is 4.2v per cell. Correct?

Where i want the definitive answer is what is the LOWEST voltage? On here and on the internet I'm getting no less than 3, no less than 3.7 no less than 3.85. My charger is set at 3v per cell on discharge. I understand storing them a little higher in that thats whats best for them..
 
i don't discharge mine lower then 3.2 per cell and i store them at 3.8 per cell

and yes, 1 amp is 1/5c for a 5000 mah battery...1c would be 5amps

so discharging them and running them in a vehicle stop at 3.2 and store them at higher than the nominal voltage of 3.7? does it hurt to store them with more than that?
