Battery charger question

[Rui P.]

Hi , I have a digital multi charger , works great with every type og batteries and I usually charge my 7,4v lipos (for rc use) with 1C charge , 1000mAh - 1A , 3000mAh - 3A , etc but I'm not sure I can do the same thing in these cells of 3.7 V as the 18650, 17670 or 14500 , what amperage is the usual ?? thanks in advance

Already find the answer , manufacturers recommend charging the 18650 cell at 0.8C or less , this is a very interesting article Charging lithium-ion batteries – Battery University

That is incorrect. Cell phone 'chargers' aren't chargers at all. They are just dumb power supplies that power the phone's internal charger.
