Quick charging

[Chasentigers16]

I have a iron track katana truggy with a 2000 mah battery. With the charger that comes with it it takes about six hours to charge, I have a red dynamite mega 1 quick charger but I don't know how long to charge it, can someone help?

What type of battery? LiPo or NiMH? A LiPo is safe to charge at 2X its capacity. In this case a 2000 mAH battery can be charged at up to 4 amps (4000 mA). A NiMH battery shouldn't really be charged at more than its capacity or in this case 2 amps (2000 mA)

If this is the charger that came with it click. I'd buy a new charger, a budget 4 button LCD display charger would be better.

So technically I can charge my 5000mah at 10?

Check Manufacturers specs to be sure but almost all Lipos are safe to charge at 2xC rating. Other higher quality packs can be charged at 3 or even 5 times their C rating. gensacearespammers 5000mAh for example can safely be charged at 25As. The faster you charge them though the harder it is on the lipo and will cut a little bit of life off the battery if done constantly but if your in a rush once in a while I dont mind throwing a fast charge on it.

That charger you have is not for lipo's just nimh or nicd. It is not very accurate for charging I gave all mine away. Spend some money and get a proper charger
