When I was trying to learn about lipo's I had heard of them exploding during charging but that was from using the wrong charger (nimh) or trying to charge dead or disfunctional cells. I haven't heard of someone deliberately charging more than the C rating.

One or two of my A123 packs were make up's from disfunctional dewalt packs so they have mixed resistance and life cycle (yes, I know, my bad
). Didn't think it would matter that much 'cause of the relatively safe chemistry. There still going strong
What I would like to know is how does the FMA keep up the charge rate on unbalanced packs when the balance tap is only good for 2 amps?
