that's only a recommendation and the safety guidelines aren't really competition rules, they are just that, guidelines. We may not win a safety award but this doesn't seem illegal. Esp considering the chargers state automatic charge current setting with no specification for capacity rating so we believe we are working well within the design constraints of both the battery and charger. Worst case we use a 6A charger for bulk charge then these for top off and consistency guarantee.
