Stupid Question - Charging tiny Lipo batteries.

[DRED805]

I have a few 2s 350 and 450mah batteries for my little trucks. The settings on my charger don't go down in .05 amp increments, so I charge a 450mAh battery at 0.4A.

Is this correct? Am I just not fully charging the battery? What happens if I round up to 0.5 amps?

It might puff.... but time difference must be minimal, I’ll always go slower

That's slightly less than 1c so you should be fine.
Honestly most modern quality lipos can charge at a higher C rating than labeled, and with micro RCs nearly every USB charger I've seen charges at 1amp which for a 350mah is quite a bit. Anything under 1amp with your hobby charger is better than the USB charger they come with

It'll be fine.
