High rate charging is not good for the health and longevity of the battery. Unlike a car battery, where the acid is liquid (and is more mobile) the gelled acid in these batteries doesn't move much, and therefore high charging rates do harm the battery. It is for that reason the FIRST limits which chargers you can use.
