there are some batteries I see that say do not charge at rates more than 1C as it can damage them.
I know this always turns into a debate but some battery companies insist it will damage a lipo. I was just researching some batteries the other day and found this on a few sites. so until I never see this warning label anywhere again, 1c charging is all I'm going to do.
