When NiMH's were popping, and if we all remember, they would often pop for no reason, the BRCA brought in a recomendation of a charge limit of 1C.

In the end, the end user has to take responsibility, as much as possible, to ensure theirs and the surrounding people safety whilst charging their own batteries. I am happy with LiPo sacks, but if that is the case, I would like to see a construction rule or even a test that they have to comply with, so that we know that if the cell does go, the flames won't escape the sack. But I also think that we, are racers, should be looking at what people are doing, and maybe 'advising' someone charging incorrectly.
