ST-16 Battery Charging

Does anyone know of a faster system to charge the ST-16 battery? It seems to take forever with the stock Yuneec charger.

You'll get better time just plugging the ST-16 into a standard 2.0A USB wall charger. Just don't leave it plugged in for a long time after reaching 100%.

I use my venom charger set up for that battery type

Thanks for the help. I'll try both suggestions.

In many cases the USB cable used for charging is the bottleneck. Most of the Micro-USB cable are too thin for 2A or even 1A. Some let only 600mA through, some less, some more.
I use a 2.5A power supply, originally bought for a Raspberry Pi. The cable is mounted on it and gives full power. After 2-3h the ST16 battery is full. Good enough for me...

I am going to assume that were referring to the h480 st16 battery with the ec2 connection and not the new st16S battery. I use venom pro 3 charger with ec2 leads amps is set to 6 amps 3.6v. Recharge time 1hr 50 min to 2 hours 10 min pending on how discharge the battery becomes. I have 5 st16s battery for the h480.
