its not that which I'm unhappy about. its the problem of having several other very nice battery chargers that are under, not over, 6 amps. the 6amp chargers they give us are for automotive batteries, and I cant use any of the POWERSONIC SLA chargers because they are 4 amps, not 6. the rules are pretty specific about it being 6amps and only 6amps. I would much rather use a temperature compensated SLA charger designed for SLA's than some random automotive chager with a software glitch that prevents it from charging if only the red light comes on untill I plug in a battery, wait, unplug, wait, and plug back in then set the charging rate by pressing a button until the setting I want lights up. (if you cant tell, Im not impressed by the current KOP battery charger.)

afterthought: it isn't safe charging them faster than 6 amps, yet its safe to discharge them at 80amps? I'm not attacking your post or you in any way, I'm just generally unhappy about the battery rules and for some reason extra unhappy right now.
