Default New Packs

I'm getting in a set of new batteries and have never used any other than cheap Radio Shack packs, and with them I didn't care to much on how hot they got and and any other issues, but now I'm getting some what better packs and would like to know what you guys would do with then, and how to take better care of them. Plus I will be getting a better charger but for now I have the Radio Shack's fast charger, out put : DC 16.5V --- 1.5A do I need to hook up a volt or amp meter to watch for charge drop off? Or will it cut off in time ?[link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXERB5&P=DC]New Packs[/link]
