Charge Time on CX LiPO

[HoVoR]

What kind of charge times do you get on your CX stock LiPO pack (7.4v 2C 800mAh)?

I have an Accu-Cycle Elite, and it takes a little over an hour to charge the pack at 1C (.8A). The pack does not show any signs of warmth at this rate.

I have read that 1C is optimal for charge rate, but real-world values and optimal values can differ.

Any suggestions?

1c is correct, should take a bit over an hour to charge. You could charge at a higher rate, but you may just cause the pack to burst into flames at higher rates too, how much is your house worth? The only LiPo batteries that I am aware of that can be charged at more than 1 c ( 3c) are the Thunder Power pro lite batteries with the specific 1010c Thunder Power charger only. There may well be others , I know FMA and Kokam have a pretty nice battery/charger setup also.
