I have the dynamite vision peak ultra charger. I just bought some 3800mah tenergy 6 cell stick packs. What rate should I charge them at? I hear 1.5 is good but I'm not sure. I charge my nicd's at 4.5 but I know that's to high for the Nimh. Thanks again guys. I'm still very new to the electric side.
 
I believe under 3.0A is fine. According to my manual, you can use 5.0A if you're using an car lighter plug (AC I think).

Yes it says 3000 ma which would be a 3 amp charge rate, just watch your battery temps and don't let them get over about 120 degrees, and you should be fine..

I just charged one and when it peaked it was at 120 degrees so I guess I'm good.
