I just checked the page for a set of zippy lipos I just received and it says the same thing...BUT on the back of the actual pack it says never to charge above 1C. So i'd do it at your own risk.

Yea, I noticed this as well...the thing is, though, it may be safe to charge them at 2C, but it is not recommended so Zippy left the recommended 1C charge-rate on the packs.

these are great packs i just got 2 4s1p 25c 5000mah packs, tried one out yesterday in my e-maxx with hacker c-50 maxx motor in the sand and dunes, the power from this combo was sweet, first gear was semi manageable but second was a hand full, with only rear paddle tires, then the tranny locked up
