Discharge C-rate and charge C-rate are two different values. Standard lipo charge rate is 1C, so a 5000mah pack (5Ah) would charge at 5A. Some newer packs can charge at 2C, or even claim up to 5C. Only attempt if it's clearly labelled on the pack that this is OK. Even then, there is some debate about if it affects the life and health of the pack.
