An automatic battery charger rated for a maximum of 6 amperes must be used to charge the ES17-12 batteries. When recharging the ES17-12 batteries, either the charger provided by FIRST or an automatic charger with an equivalent charging current rating may be used.
The rule was not present this year. Even without a rule specifying so, it's still wise to use automatic chargers that don't exceed 6 amps.
