if the battery is charged you can set it at almost any amp and any good charger will adjust to what it needs. Once they are almost charged they tend to balance at a lower amp regardless of what you set it at. But like the other guy said 4.5 is safest

Also depends on what batteries you are using, mine have a 10c safe limit so 66amps could be pumped through them for a 6 min charge time from flat
(wouldnt be comfortable doing this!) yet some packs have a 1c limit. 1c is always a safe bet but manufaturers aint gonna advertise higher charge rates if it wasnt safely possible.
