I use an overloader charger, but that really makes no difference. Charge as per BRCA guidelines and you'll not go far wrong.
See this post: http://www.oople.com/forums/showpost...62&postcount=1

Brief summary - Charge at 1C (that 4.6amps for those cells), keeps regularly equalised and if using the temp cutoff keep it nice and low at around 42 deg. Don't forget to store them with some charge (Idon't know if EP's self discharge like IB's but it can't do any harm...)

The advice is good for all chargers and batteries really.

Edit: keep the delta peak nice and low - I have no problems with mine set at the minimum of 3mv per cell
