but then, wouldn't people will just charge at a higher current to give them a competitive advantage? thus making them unstable too?

I wonder how much of an issue there would be if we all charged at 1C (i.e. 4.2A for 4200's), as per manufacturer recommendations? I wonder if the number of explosions would be the same?

I've witnessed some IB4200's explode, indoors, at a meeting early this year. Scary stuff, but then I've also seen people charge at 5.5A, then repeak at 7.5A, so its hardly surprising, as they are abused so much.
