Clarification on lipo charging current

Hi,

I've just picked up a 150w charger which can charge at 7 amps. It's an Imax B8+ and I'm just configuring it to charge a Zippy 4S 5000mAh 30C battery. Am I right in thinking that for a balance charge I set the amps at 5A given its 5000mAh at 1C?

I'd also welcome advice on what people would recommend as the upper charging voltage or do I go with 4.2V x 4 and set 16.8V.

Regards

Dave
