Default 12FGA Charging Question

Hi Guys.
I have had my Futaba 12 FGA 2.4Ghz for a few months now and have been flying it in all my jets without incident. I love this radio. Anyway I always charge it with my Triton using the charge jack in the rear of the transmitter. I charge it at a rate of 200 Mah as per the instructions. The instructions state that if using the charge jack in the rear of the transmitter you must limit the charge rate to 200 Mah max. If you want to charge it faster then you can disconnect the battery lead and charge it direct. I don't like to repeatedly plug and unplug things so I don't like that option. Any idea why Futaba has limited the charge rate through the transmitter? In the past I have charged my 9C at 400 Mah or more. Even being able to charge at 400 Mah through the back of the 12 FGA would be helpful. What are you guys doing?
