Reason why you are using lower rates? 1C must take a long time for a 5000mAh battery.

You can charge lipos as what the manufacturers say....but charging at 5C definitely will shorten the life span of your battery....as batteries has different charging rates I always charge at 1C for maximum life but in a jam you definitely can charge at higher C's to battery spec.
