I have charged 8 packs in the past, putting in on average 1700/1800mah back in after each run, and when charging the Lead Acid battery that evening, my charger put around 10,000mah back in. It's all to do with discharge rates etc. aswell. I charge my race packs at 6 amps and the Lead Acid battery more than copes. It probably wouldn't last you a whole weekend, but is more than capable of lasting for a whole days racing, 5 races and 2/3 practices.

I too decided to get one of those CSB 20Ah leisure batteries...

I've got an Turnigy Accucel 6 charger and 15v power supply. What settings do you use to charge yours? Do I just set the charger to "pb" mode (12v) and set the current? The CSB specification (link below) says 6A max charging current so I figured half that should be safe to start with?
