Can. No problem. But one minor design fault in Prolux charger.

It do not have cooling fan build in. So, if u charge at 1.5A, the charger will get hot. If your charger is in warm area (Or no air con), it sometime goes thermal shutdown and u will hear the charger goes initialize mode again. Your battery do not get full charge.

To quick such problem is to either charge at lower current (But it take more than 2 hours? to get full charge) or u still charge at 1.5A put a small computer fan near the openning or blow fans to it.

If I use 1.5A to change my 1500m li-po batt will it spoil the batt & how about 1500m charge on 2.0A rate

Thx alot to answer my question (Super-Hornet )

Charging at 1C should not have any problem for nowadays Li-Poly. Try not to charge more than 1C. Yes, u can reduce the charging time by charging more than 1Cs (E.g. Charging 2A onto a 1.5AH battery) BUT Extreme caution is require. Not recommended! Futhermore, the flight time is shorter than if u charge at more than 1C (But how much shorter, that, I didn't compare).

Hi Super-Hornet ,

Are u using the prolux charger & how do u mod the fan into your charger any pic thx...

[Super-Hornet]

Too lazy to mod. I just connect a computer CPU fan to the 12V i/p and just put the fan near the ventilation hole.
