Why would you even want to do that? All you are doing is overcharging the cell, making damage or sudden cell failure more likely. If you think there is some performance advantage to be had, you are kidding yourself. If it isn't against the rules to charge beyond 4.20V per cell where your race, then it should be.

If you are racing 12th it is of no advantage at all. Our limit is 4.20v.

I think this figure was based on the fact that early chargers were more erratic, and this was to allow everyone a chance at getting to race without faffing around having to discharge them at tech prior to racing. Today you'll be unlucky to get one that tips you into 4.21v, let alone 4.22v.

It gives you little or no advantage. To get the best performance across the race time go for the biggest capacity possible. Another 0.1v will be gone at the first pull of the throttle, but the voltage at five minutes could be up to 0.3v different if you had a 4000 cell against a 6500 cell.

Ask yourself how many mistakes you make in one race. If it is more than one every race then you know how to get higher up the final list...

And that's enough of that.
oOple.com can not, and will not, encourage people to overcharge their cells to dangerous limits. There is a reason why 99% of chargers will not do this...
