I am not sure what you mean here "a 4.2 3000mah 20c lipo charged at 1 c to 3.7 volts will still punch out at 20 c seems pointless"

According to what I read, the fill-up to 4.0 or 4.2V does affect cycle life, like with Li-ion(my lenovo laptop manual states it strongly for LithiumIon). Here, one link to the ORION LiPo that treats the subject...

Beyond that, I need it for my 4S Xcelorin application.
