Here's some more info I found: (source)

Thunder Power released the Pro Power 30C lipo battery almost a year ago. They had the latest cell, Pro Power 40C, slated for release this past couple months. However after further consideration Thunder Power decided why do 40C when they could achieve 45C! Shown at IRCHA this week for the first time ever, and seen right here first!

Now these aren’t just prototype samples for show at IRCHA, these batteries are not only shipping but for sale today from Thunder Power dealers at IRCHA. Today the Pro Power 45C 6S 2650mah (500 heli), Pro Power 45C 3S 2250mah (450 heli), and Pro Power 45C 3S 850mah (250 heli) are available to take home. The rest of the lineup you see in the pictures here will be available sometime between September and October.

6C Charging! Yes you can safely charge these packs at 6C rate if you choose. With older technology cells charging at such a high rate would quickly shorten the lifespan of the battery. This is not the case with the new G4 cell formula in the Pro Power 45C packs. Thunder Power RC has done extensive testing and shown 6C charging over 200-250 cycles with zero loss in performance and only a nominal loss in battery capacity (i.e. run time).

New cell technology, and a price drop! Yes that was not a typo, Thunder Power RC is going to price the new Pro 45C packs 10% below the current Pro 30C pricing. Then beginning in September the Pro Lite V2, Pro RX, and Pro Power 30C will all receive a 25% price cut! This will make every line of Thunder Power’s lipo batteries more competitive in pricing with other brands on the market.

If you were planning on getting some 30c thunderpowers, maybe you'll want to wait....

Comparing what a G3 35C and a TP 40C pack can do... these should be able to do 25C discharge @ 3.7/cell, probably more.

6C charging should be expected as the 40C packs can do 5C, however, it does not benefit you to charge with that setting as it only gets you a minute or two off the charge time, 3-4C charging is optimal, after that, the pay back is minimal.

I'm waiting patiently to get my hands on these. I have the TP 40c 3S pack, and this thing is a frikkin monster.

I was debating whether or not to get a 4S 40c pack, but I think that may be a little too much. I've had to replace the gears in my center diff once already...which is one too many times.

a 40c 4S would be just plain murder on the drivetrain. However...a 45c 3S pack? Hmm....that just might be what the doctor ordered.

I must get my hands on some.

may just have to hook the 3s packs directly to the power supply

You could charge a 3,300mah pack on a 720i @ 20amps, that's 6c charge.

3c charging is already enough for me. It's nice to be able to charge my Hyperion G3 3300 mah 6s pack at 10 amps (max on my EOS0610i) and have it done at 90% TCS in 18 minutes. Heck, ever since I invested in Zippy packs and charged them at 2c, I've never had to wait for a pack to finish charging. There's always a full pack ready by the time I get of the drivers stand. 6c is just scary. For those 5000 mah 6s users, thats over one horsepower from an AC outlet - something that would seriously dim the lights when you turned it on, at least at my house.
