hello..

since X34 said that there is not enuff juice for fast charging,

whats the minimum current required for fast/normal charging of lipos?

and how long does lipos take for it to charge?

thanks..

rifqi,

The amount of juice required depends on your batt.
Assuming you are charging 3s 1250mah batt.
With your 0.5 amp output less some loss in the charging say net juice available is 0.4 amps.

You max charge rate would be 0.4amps or 400mah.
1250/400 = 3+ hours.

I hope it answers

Cheers
