Default Charging question in regards to mah. and a digital charger

Hello All,
Im glad I found this site. I was HEAVY into racing about 20 years ago. I just recently decided to get back into it.
So much has changed since my first RC10 and first RC10gt!!

I just purchased a new Starter Box for nitro that requires two 7.2 battery packs. I also purchased a digital charger which
I have never used before. all of my chargers back in the day where simple chargers. My question is, I would like to charger
both batteries at the same time. I have the connections for this, but what I need to know is.

Say I have two 7.2v packs. That gives me a voltage rating of 14.4 correct? * SO I set my charger for 14.4.

What I not sure about is if each pack is 2000mah,, would I set the digital charger mah setting for 2000mah
or 4000mah?

Im thinking that the charger would see the two packs as 12 cells each at 1.2v all as one unit.

With a overall mah setting of 2000mah????

Please enlighten. Feel free to throw in some discharge settings as well is you feel like it.

Thanks and nice site!!
