I am only charging at 1C at the moment even though the charger is capable of doing more. Some of the newer packs state they can be charged up to 5C by the manufacturer without issues and for a 5000mah pack that would 25A and the only charger to get near that is the Hyperion 0720. I just find that some people are buying chargers based on C ratings but are not actually realising that they cannot charge their super capacity Lipo packs as the max the charger can do means that they can only charge below 1C. I think that there is also a big difference in the balancer circuits of some of the better chargers which can help decrease the charge time no matter what the charge rate.
