This is what the brca will be worried about. (we all know it will happen at some point) this then obviously shortens the life of the cell and they are no longer the cheap alternative
tc have a cap of 5000mah i think, simple solution, make it clear if somone is found charging outside brca guide lines then make it clear that they will be banned from the brca for a year, if they want to take that chance. i doubt in off road it would be an advantage.
