Been charging and discharging at 40 amps for a few years now. Almost everyone at my track does, no issues with power and no issues with LiPo's going up in flames. Heck, we have the Hudy Indoor Champs every year also, still no issues with power or LiPo fires.

ah, rebuildable wet acid batteries....
tow-motors an such... 1,000 pound battery and UP.... single 24 volt battery.. some 48 volt..
even hear of the Ma-bell wired telephone battery banks... massive
1,000 amps PLUS... some years ago...
that is HIGH AMP charging..
better to 'defined' your numbers.

Yep, taking a 4x4 Shortcourse Mod to the head of a kid. That would be my safe worry. People don't like it when you slam their buggies during practice also.
I'm running two iCharger 308's. Stock classes charge 30 amps, discharge 30 amps. Mod classes, charge 10 amps, and I don't discharge. Testing it out.
I only charge 1 battery at 30amp, at a time.

Actually, i have not seen a LiPo fire in over 4 years. And that was when 1c charging was the rule and the person used the wrong charging mode.
