If you want to try step charging:
7A for the first 3050mah
0.66A for the second 100mah (only qualm I have is that you can't go lower than 100mah)
5.5A for final stage.
**Note, you must enable the long lockout every time you step charge so it doesn't false peak, set it to the sum of the first and second stage, so in this case 3150mah.

Again if it's hotter, than charge at 6.0-6.5A for the first stage. If you need more punch, raise the final stage (stock) but you can lower it to 4.0-4.5A for mod. This should be a good starting point, but feel free to experiment and find what works best for you.
