I have a Thunder Power 3800mAh shorty 2s LiPo herer, which is rate at a max charge of 12c (45A), now, if I am using a decent charger, no matter what I charge at, it should never EVER go above 8.4v, so charging at high C ratings (as long as it is in accordance with manufacturers guidelines) and using a LiPo charger on the correct profile, you will never get an overcharge, charging on a NiMH/NiCD setting will though. So if your significantly over the limit, then surely you are cheating?
