Not a car related question but need some advice with charging lips.

i have purchased some of the lrp stock cells 5800 2s. The leaflet in the box says that i need to charge them at 12Amp or should i charge them at 5.8Amp to match the cell. what would be the best to do.

Thanks
Andrew

I've read somewhere that it decreases battery life charging at higher rates but yet to see proof. My charger only charges up to 7A so I charge at 1C. I have an intellect 5000mah 50C that's still going strong 4 years old no swelling but some Nano techs 2 years old that are both swelling by 3mm all cells balanced at 1C every charge
