Listen to Slow One and Mark Christopher. Do not charge at rates greater than 1C. Reasons for this...

(1) Safety. Most safety issues are when cells are being charged. Higher charge rates can lead to an unsafe condition.
(2) There is no practical reason to need to charge faster than 1C
(3) It saves money (current costs money)
(4) Cycle life is reduced at higher charge rates.
