Your may mean 2.2 ah (rather than mah) and you might also mean 4S? (rather than 4c)
 Anyways , 5C means charging at 5 times the "C" or 5 times the capacity. If your capacity is 2.2 ah then that means 2.2 x 5 = 11 amps.

I always thought the correct rate to charge a lipo or any battery would be : 2500mah charge at 1c 2.5amps, 4000mah charge at 4 amps, am I correct?

Many will agree with you. I always thought the correct rate was any rate up to the max rate. Some go beyond the max rate as well.

Following these charge rates I have never had any problems with any of my batteries and you also have to keep in mind I have over 150 cycles and they look new still (no puffiness) and still have the punch power.
