Puffed Lipos
Looks like you are charging them fine. You could even double the charge rate and not have any issues.
Your charger should also balance charge by default - if you are plugging in the balance leads. Otherwise, I would look to discharge or storage for the source of the puffing. Are they being stored charged, or in a hot car? As for discharge, they are mid-grade (35C) batteries from a high quality manufacturer... Are you flying them too hard or too long? Voltages should be about 11.1 or higher a few minutes after you're done flying. Flying to LVC even a few times can damage them. Are the batteries warm/hot after flying? A 450 can be hard on batteries if you have a 'hot setup' with a big motor or high rpm. How many cycles on them? If treated well, the should be good for at least 100, and probable double or even triple that.

I take meticulous care of my batteries, but have found that flying them in hot weather (+110F) causes them to puff. I think heat is the enemy of all batteries.
