If I increase the peak detection voltage, I increase the rate of battery charge ?

No the ratings above are the delta peak settings, not the charge rate (mah) if you want a faster charge, increase the mah/hour (but not too much!)

If you set too high a value it may make the charger less sensitive and you risk over charging and damaging your battery. If you set too low a value it may make the charger more sensitive but you may under charge your battery or get false peaks and it will not charge to it's full capacity.

yup, rate (amps) determines how fast it charges (highly changeable)

delta peak (mv) determines when it kicks off (not really changeable)
