I use a Protek charger that is 80w and I charge at 8a. It takes about 30 minutes to charge back to full capacity.

LVC is set at 3.2
Note that I never run my batteries down to low volt cut-off... I use a timer set to 8 minutes when practicing.
this is true. My son wants an eBuggy as well and Im sure he will take that down to LVC on the regular, which is why I was thinking of the iCharger.
