Yeah, surprises me too. My 2100mAh lipo lasted me all day. I'd say it was hovering around 1-3 degrees for most of the day

Well it was rather cold, and I was being rather... enthusiastic, shall we say, with my ammo usage.

Lots of suppressive and covering fire :p

You should be able to charge lipos at 1C, so in this case with it being 3300mAh then the maximum would be 3.3A. Personally, unless I was in a rush, I wouldn't charge at anything over 0.5C (so about 1.6A)

Fizzy is correct, 1C is the reccomended charge rate for LiPo cells, this is why your laptop and mobile phone charge in about 85 minutes.

Other than Fizzy, there's lots of (no disrespect intended) guess work being offered in this thread. Those moving over to LiPo's really need to do a little bit of research about charging/cycling etc. as they do not behave like older battery technologies. There is compelling evidence that charging at too lower rate actually harms the life of the cells. Airsofters need to get out of the "slower is better" mentalilty that formed through the NiCad era, it's no longer relevant.
