That is correct. You can even double that amount and charge at 2C or 13 amps. Also, when you put your batteries up for storage, ensure that you have the batteries charge at 50%. Keep the batteries at or near room temperature as much as possible, and try not to keep the heat at 140*F MAX! Otherwise you may have an expensive mess on your hands for every five to ten degrees above 140*F.

Before you run your car or even charge your battery, make sure your battery is at least at room temperature before running. After you run your car, let the temperature subside a little before recharging, provided that it is below 100*F.
