Never had any issues with lipo batteries or charger.
I wouldn't charge the lower price cells above 1C.
Talking about Nano tech, Gen Ace, etc.
I personally don't run them for the low grade of materials use to produce.
My Gensace packs are safe to 5C and my Hobbyking packs are safe to 2-5C depending on the packs. At home i charge my packs at 10A the max my dual charger will allow, at the track i charge them at 1C which is what our rules allow. Never had a failure, never had a pack puff, and my packs balance up nicely and I only ever use these low end packs.
Oh and the nano tech packs are rated to up to 15C charge, it depends on the packs, i know a mate of mine who is into planks charges 20 lipos at a time off his massive charge outfit at insanely high amps, all of them Turnigy branded, 20 packs come off his charger in 15 mins, ready to fly. It is the plane, helli and boat guys who are really pushing the envelope when it comes to high amp charging us car guys really do not have anything on them.
