I play it safe myself and rarely charge over 5amps regardless what packs I'm charging, I'm reasonably prepared and patient and rarely in a hurry to charge at a higher rate. I have however experimented with a new Sky Lipo hardcase 5000mah 2s 40c, I charged it at 2c/10amps and it was brillant. From LVC to peak took 11minutes and no heat or issues, will I do it again, prob not but least I know I can if needed ?

IMO I beleive the higher charge rates 7-8amps+ is hard on the packs in long term.
