Maximus,
You received two chargers? The 8.4 volt charger will overcharge and likely destroy the 7.2 volt battery. Use the 7.2 volt charger. To slow charge NiCad batteries they are charged with a constant current power supply as the supplied charger does.
The rules are very specific this year, only the supplied 7.2 volt charger for off board charging or the IFI charger for on board charging. There is no provision for any other chargers, sorry but you are best to leave them home.
