Charging Amps

[Dtodt13]

So i recently sold my blade200srx along with its stock charger, which i also used to charge my plane battery. The plane battery has a max charge rate of 1.35A. Since i sold the blade200srx and its charger, the only charger i have left is for my blade450, which the charge rate on that is 1.8A. Will i be okay using that charger to charge the plane battery? it doesnt seem like too big a difference.

Hard to be 100% certain as you havent given us much to go on (cell count, mAh capacity and maybe C rating of the battery and model of charger for instance)... But assuming the cell count is within the charger's spec then it 'should be' ok. Most batteries these days can be charged at higher rates than used to be the norm (1c).

its a 3S 450mAH with 3c charge rate. and yes the charger is for 3S batteries

A 3C max charge rate for a 450 mAH battery is 3 x 450, or 1350 mAH (1.35 Amps), so the charger with 1.8 Amps will exceed the 3 C max. Hope that helps.
