I charge all mine (3000mAh, 3600mAh, 3700mAh, 3900mAh) at three amps, takes approx 80 to 90 mins each, I suspect charging at higher currents puts more stress on the batteries. Kieran.


Is that on trickle charge. :?:

NO.
Trickle charge is only around 1/2 amp
and would take forever.
Also
I dont think it is good for high performence cells to trickle charge them

Charge yours at 4 or 4.5 amps.  :wink:
