A123 charge rate?

Any chance you remember cycles for 5 amps??? We were told 1000+ cycles was typical but never given a charge rate.

I use a Hyp 0610iNet charger and 25a, 13.8v power supply fwiw.

I don't remember for sure, but 1,000 cycles sounds feasible. They are very robust cells, if they ever make a cell that's more convenient for RC use I'll definitely be using them.
