Default how much is to much or to little...

hi RC dude's i'm asking the question how much charge is to much...i'm about to buy some more LIPO battery's for my RC8.2 and my LOSI 2.0E they both have MAMBA MONSTER"S 2200 kv set up's. now my last lipo's started to balloon alittle after a while which i've heard is quite normal but i'm trying to prolong the life of the new one's i'm buying so im using a HYPERION EOS 0615I dual charger. now i always pressumed you plug in the lipo and the charger doe's the rest as long as the setting's are right ' and i'm pretty sure they are ' i have TURNIGY NANOTECH's 14.4 VOLT 5.0 MAH... 45- 90 c discharge BATTERY'S that i'm charging at 5.0 amps i'm sure they discharge in my veichle at 3.2 v that's what my CASTLE PROGRAMMING CARD IS SET AT..... but do i charge these things all the way to %100 to the TCS...terminal capacity selection or do i charge to a lower % like %95 or lower ..the question is am i over charging them or not cause i'm not to sure how much is to much when it come's to lipo's AND THEY COST A FORTUNE....thank's to who ever answer's.
