Not last year, but 2 years ago, I was part of that big discussion and asked the GDC. We have some stanley 15A chargers which we use to top off/float charge our batteries during competiton. We were getting horribly inconsistent performance from what we had which is what we still use to do the bulk charging but using these allowed us to solve the problems we were having. It's legal as long as at no point more than the manufacturer's recommendation(6A) is being charged to the battery.
