It shows you in the manual (and in english too)
for 1100mah charge at .9 amps, typically 1C, but I like to be a bit under.
(1C of 1100mah = 1.1A)
And use the balance charge. It's the same thing as charging, but it balances the cells.
And you don't need to deep cycle your LiPo's (discharge and charge), just top them up and put a storage charge on it over winter

So when you start charging in balance mode, or for anything LiPo related, it'll bring you to a screen that tells you how many cells it's detecting, and then you just confirm that it's 1S or 2S or 3S, whatever, just hit start. Then it's charging.
While it's charging you can hit "status right" And it'll show you the voltage of each individual cell.
Now because you can't put more than 4.2v INTO the cells, don't stop the charger at 4.20v, because once it reaches that point it's actually only 70% full. So it'll stay at 4.20v until it's done charging.
I'm just saying it's not like a NiMH where a 9.6v battery gets charged at 10.6v until it's full.
