I understand what it means, I have not seen that charge rating on anything other than the Hyperion "hybrid" lipos. They are a completely different chemistry that will tolerate such a charge rate. Traditional lipos will puff and eventually die off with such a high charge rate.

What is the deal with 5C charge rate? Is this an new chemistry or by virtue of the 'C' rating is this possible.

it means you can charge it at 5C of the MHA, if it was 1C you can charge it up to 2.6A when its 5C you actually can charge it at 13.25A which is much faster...

Charge rate is determined by battery resistance. These new 40c batteries have very low resistance. Think of it like a door, 10c discharge have a front door, 40c have a barn door. Because the door is so big you can discharge and charge at 40c and 5c rates.
