That's an odd request. Most of the time charge rates are a factor of capacity. So if you have a 4600mah battery you generally charge at 1C or 2C, which would be 4.6 amps or 9.2 amps respectively. There also batteries out there that can be charged at 5C so that 4600mah could be charged at 23 amps. There are some Turnigy's from Hobbyking that are 5C capable, but I have a hard time recommending them at this point since I'm currently having an issue with a new battery and Hobbyking is providing poor customer support.

Why the specific 20amp charge rate?

I've got a 4S Turnigy Nano-tech that has a charge rate of 10C. Just have to put together a charging system big enough to try it out

But yea, asking for a lipo that can take a 20A charge rate is pointless unless you provide the mah in question. Almost any 8000Mah+ 2S lipo can take 20A's but a 4000Mah one would be a rare find.....and if we're talking more cells, then your charging system would come into play also.

Because I bought a icharger 4010 due for the ip that were able to charge at 5c amps but those lipos are history now so just looking for new ones or it will be a waste of money if I could only charge at 10 amps now
