You're generally safe charging LiPos at "1C".

So if your battery has a 450mAh capacity, divide by 1000 and you find 1C = 0.45 Amps.

Many people push it and charge at 1.5C (0.675 Amps), 2.0C (0.9 Amps), or even faster.

Until you find out how many "C" your battery is rated to charge at, I'd recommend starting at 1C and maybe going up to 1.5C or 2.0C, but no more.

I always charge my 130x lipos at 1A each. So if I hook up all 6 in parallel.. I set the charger to 6A. Are you parallel charging? Or just one at a time.
