I don't know anything about your charger, but any self respecting charger uses a specific mode (called cccv or something) that regulates charge amps. It will start charging at min (0.01amps) while it works out how charged the lipo's are, and will increase to maximum (in this case 5.0amps) until voltage hits 8.4v, then reduce down to min to regulate at 8.4v. It should then cut off automatically after a set period of time to prevent overcharging.
Some chargers will auto detect capacity and cell number, some will need it telling to them, but all do the same job at the end of the day.
