You’d be safe with either option, but if you’re not in a hurry, go with 0.4A or even lower. The slower you charge, the longer your batteries will last.

just a question, do you have any experience with cycling batteries on a tinywhoop? how many do you need to cycle on the field?

@BagelFPV This is a simple matter of mathematics.
Let’s assume you’re using 500 mAh (0.5 Ah) batteries and charging them at 0.5 C. That corresponds to a charge current of 0.5 A, meaning a full charge takes about one hour (0.5 Ah ÷ 0.5 A = 1 h).
If we assume a very optimistic flight time of 5 minutes per battery, you would need at least 13 batteries to fly continuously. Charging starts the moment the first battery is drained and plugged in, so you need 12 additional batteries to cover the full 60 minute charge time until the first one is ready again.
In reality, charging usually takes a bit longer than an hour due to reduced current near empty and near full states, as well as general battery degradation. Factoring this in, a more realistic and safer estimate would be somewhere in the range of 15–18 batteries.
