Yes, charge them at 6.0 A. However, DO NOT use a fan on the packs when charging them. This can lead to overcharging the packs. Also, keep them at room temperature whenever possible. You don't want to chill them down for the same reason as not putting a fan on them.

6 amps is a pretty standard charge rate for IB's. You could even go up to 6.5.
