On that note, is it actually better for the battery to charge at lower than 1C? It used to be good to charge at C/10 (1/10th) for 12-14 hours... but that was for NiMH/NiCd.

(I remember that it was better for battery longevity, and to "balance" or "equalize" the cells, but it lacked "punch"... something not that important when purely bashing).
