The 15A charger will supply 15A to the battery at some point in it's charging cycle--it's part of it's charging algorithm to charge car batteries. It doesn't matter how long the battery is connected. This means that you will violate the rules if you use that charger.
Also, 6A is pushing it for these batteries. You should charge your batteries at the lowest charging rate you can get away with to maximize the lifespan of the batteries. The only thing charging at a higher rate gives you is less time to charge.

it will to a dead battery but we never plan on putting a dead battery on these chargers. only batteries that are indicated as fully charged by our old chargers. essentially we are just taking a charged battery, and moving i to another charger to maintain trickle. So no, no rules will be violated since it will never get into that state where it can possibly output that much current. No commercial charger is "dumb" enough to output anywhere near that much current to a battery that's indicated as already fully charged. We can argue this until the cows come home but from our observations this state is never achieved so we do fall within the rules.
