To be clear, 1C means the battery can be charged to 100% in 1 hour. 2C would be 100% in 30 minutes. .5 C means 100% in 2 hours, etc...

LiFePo4 cells in general can be charged to 80% capacity in 15 minutes. Whether the manufacturer rates them to that level depends on specific characteristics of that particular product.
