Question for Linc and all the other Lipo gurus out there. What would be the effects of charging a Lipo at slightly above 1C? I'm not talking 1.5-2C I mean something like charging a 4500mah or 4900mah at 5Amps or so. Not on a regular basis but when racing it would be nice to make sure I wasn't scramblng to get packs charged in time. Basically charging at .1-.5A over 1C. Do I risk puffing at that rate, shorter life cycle?
