The manufacturer's recommended rated is ~5.5 amps. Charging the battery at 6 amps is pushing it, but allowed because virtually all chargers that are rated for 6 amps only put out 6 amps for a very limited time. Charging a battery at a constant 20 amps is asking for trouble. (

As for the PDB, the short answer is that all chargers are not created equal. Some chargers will cause more damage to the PDB power supplies than others, since the supplies are more sensitive to voltage variances than batteries. (
