</div><div>Not true, and a dangerous assumption. A quality pack should come with instructions, if not then be safe and charge at 1C. Some manufacturers, Hyperion and Thunder Power come to mind, produce packs that can be charged at 1C, 3C and 5C. If able to be charged higher than 1C, they will be labeled as such generally. I have 40C packs that only be charged at 1C. </div>
