2c is not something I would do, as on other sites it claims charging a lipo at more than 1c decreases the life of the battery.
As said in other posts not many chargers go above 5amps anyway, so just charge them a few days before the event if time is an issue but for safety always use a lipo bag.
trakpower is no more

the companies cells are now traktech
