Rule 3.9 LiPo/LiFe batteries may be charged to a maximum of:-
2S Batteries may be charged to a maximum of 8.40v (LiPo) resp. 7.40v (LiFe).
1S Batteries may be charged to a maximum of 4.20v (LiPo) resp. 3.70v (LiFe).
Just had confirmation about 8.44. In offroad they are strict and 8.4 is the max but in TC 8.44 is allowed due to charger variations. I posted it on my FaceBook and two different drivers, one who races for Hotbodies and one for Schumacher both said TC is 8.44.

Phew! I was worried and we both are right in the end!
