I try to keep the battery chargers set to less than 6A unless we're at a competition, then they're set to 6A. In my opinion, 6A is a bit "hot" for an 18 ampere-hour battery, but even with 6 batteries and chargers we come close to running out of charged batteries during eliminations.

I'm starting to think the "right" number of batteries and chargers is 8.
