My Thunder Power 3cell Lipo 5000mah 40c battery consistantly reads exactly 84degrees after a ten minute, 30 amp quick charge. Room temperature was a few degrees bellow 84degrees. The battery pack is about 16 months old, and apx 100 cycles of use. I experience zero difference in power or run time, if I charge the battery at 1c = 5amps, or 6c = 30amps. Same power, same run time. Much quicker charge. Thunder Power said the 30amp quick charge reduces the life of their batteries, zero. Others say I may or will reduce the life of my lipos with 30amp fast charges. I opt for the quick charge, because I very much like having my battery fully charged in less than ten minutes.
