Thinking of taking the battery back to the shop as it was quite expensive as i needed one so went to the local and most expensive shop .....
What you're doing to your batteries is not wise. It will kill your battery in a short period of time. Charging at 2C will not give you a performance advantage, it merely shortens the time needed to charge. Don't believe me??? Try measuring the voltage after a 1C charge and a 2C charge. The difference will be negligible.
Discharging further after each run, shortens your battery life by using up the materials in the battery. This was done in the nicad and nimh batteries, but those at best were good for 50 or fewer races.
