It's not that we set the charge rate to 15A, the charger states: "automatically selects charge rate from 0 to 15 AMPS to maximize battery life, charge speed and maintenance" it also makes no claims as to a rating of battery it can/can't charge. From other online documentation I found there is no danger at charging up to 1C other than shortening the battery life, which you may consider damage I suppose though. Honestly i'm no worried since we can work around it by bulk charging on 6A then cycling to these for top off
