See the last sentence of the blue box under R20: "Batteries should be charged in accordance with manufacturer’s specification. The battery charger output should not exceed 6 amps and they must have the corresponding Anderson connector installed. (Please see the FIRST Safety Manual for additional information.)"
Basically all this means is that you need to cut off the gator clamps and replace them with Anderson connectors.
