+1. The only thing that seems to be agreed by everyone is not to store them at full charge, but to use the popular chargers' discharge programmes to drop them down to nominal voltage (3.7/7.4/etc) if storing for more than a couple of weeks.
I've tried it all, and can tell you that charging above 1C, re-peaking and discharge-before-charge makes no difference at all except to cane the cells harder than you need to. On the track, the clock can't show me any difference.
Stick to 1C charge rates, storing them discharged from the last race if using them weekly/fortnightly, and no re-peaking. HTH
