RC-Monster Forums - View Single Post - Thunderpower 40C 'Pro-Race' Battery Charge Rate

I found the Thunder Power thread on RC-Tech. Thunder Power themselves say that you can charge their cells (successfully) at 2C and 3C, though at 3C there was a significant/noticeable drop in life cycle, and that at those rates the cells must be balanced using a balancer that monitors the cells the whole time.

Not a problem for me, I only need to charge at 2C, and I have a proper balancer.

This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
