Most Lipos can be charged at 2C perfectly fine, almost every brand now says 2C is acceptable, my SMCs advertise up to 3C(18A) but it may decrease the lifespan, but they say even 2C (10A) is perfectly fine. The carpet guys are who you have to worry about, they stuff them in warmers and charge at like 20 amps...
