All Hyperion G3 packs can be charged at 6C rates, with no reduction in cycle life or performance. (also 7 X more cycles them most packs on the market, last years study results )
However, given the negligible difference in charge time for 6C rate vs. 5C, we believe 5C to be the ideal max charge rate for any high-performance LiPo pack.
We strongly recommend the use of quality-brand charger, such as the Hyperion EOS lineup, as some generic brand chargers have been shown to use poor components, and may therefore not control charge voltage properly. Hyperion holds that 4.20V/cell (+/- 0.05V) is the proper terminal voltage for Hyperion G3 packs (and all other LiPo). Use of terminal voltages higher than this (for racing, etc) is not covered under warranty, and may be dangerous.
(note: some G3 packaging may still state 5C max on front or rear. However, all G3 are rated for 6C max no-loss.)

I love my G-3's about to pull the trigger on a few more. 45C this time out
