Yes and no. Their instructions say the following:
"NORMAL CHARGING: The charge rate should not exceed 1C*
* To charge at greater than 1C (no more than 3C): You must use a Thunder Power 1010C charger in conjunction with a Thunder Power Balancer (205 or 210) and data cable. Only ProLite 910, 1320, 2000 and 2100 cells qualify for charging up to 3C."

ThunderPowerRC -- what's the whole story? Can I interpret this as that it's OK to charge at 2C with any charger as long as I have a balancer hooked up? Can I use a Hyperion EOS1210i with balancer to charge at 2C and be SAFE?
Can I at least charge at 6A with my Hyperion EOS0606i and balancer and be SAFE?

OK, I basically cut and pasted this from my TP 5000/40C/7.4 instructions a couple of months ago.

Any reason the 2C decreases the life of the battery?

Quote from a previous post of mine, I've made up a balance cable;
Would someone from Thunderpower like to confirm exactly what the make and model is of the balance connector on their packs.
I think I may have found one that does the job, but I accidently ordered the 'socket' which is what is on the pack, I have the 'header' on order.
Just in case someone has access to them and can check now;
JST B04B-PASK-1 (LF)(SN)
4way header

I would also like to know. Others I have used have a 3-wire balance plug on a 2S lipo, these are 4-wire. Where can an adapter be purchased, and what are the 4-wires? I am assuming, cell 1 + and Cell 1 - and the others are for cell 2, but need a little more info here.
? Just wondering how close they were to releasing them? TP? Thanks

The balance wire config is as follows:
Black - connected to the black neg wire
White - connected to one set cells positive
Blue - connected to the red pos wire
Orange - not use
This is a 2S2P and balances the same as a 2S1P
Hope this helps

Yea but you will need an adapter from the tp tap to the eflight style on the charger.
