As said you want the first charge to be slow, as recommended by the manufacturer. This is known as a forming charge.
Failure to do this can result in diminished capacity.
After the first charge you can charge faster but I would NEVER charge a pack in 20 minutes. Your batteries will not last long doing that.
I don't recommend charging at faster than 1C or .6amps for your pack but personally I always slow charge my packs overnight.
well my peak charger is set for 500 milliamps so that should be safe
Still, if you have the time, charge at an even lower rate. Your batteries will appreciate it.
