Battery Chargers

This past season we used the 6amp charger on our batteries from andy mark. This gave us up to 13 volts for a full charge but the FRC batteries can go up to 15 max. Our team knew this would happen and knew that our batteries would be destroyed by the end of the season. Well we were right. So over the off season we plan to develop a battery charging cart that will charge the battery at 2 Amps for a while, then 4 Amps, and then 6 Amps to get our batteries at full complicity and keep them living longer. Does anyone have any ideas on how we can make this possible?
