what you want from teh battery is the best way to determine how to charge them. at a lower amp charge, the battery will have a longer run time and less punch, but its overall life will be longer because of less stress on the battery while being recharged. A higher amp charge will give oyu a littl ebit more punch, but have negative affects on run time and overall life. Whatever you do, DO NOT charge them above 6 amps. The rulle of thumb is for NI-MH battery packs, do not charge more than twice its capaicy in amp hours. in this case, the capacity is 3 amp hour, so do not charge over 6 amps. The same basic rules go for NI-cd, but do not charge over 3 times its capactiy, so do not carge a 2 amp hour battery higher than 6 amps. (ps. the number on the battery cell is the batteries capacity in milliamp hours). With NI-mh it is not a nesscity to discharge them before you recharge them if you will run them within the same day, otherwise it is suggested that you discharge them. Also, just charge them at the same rate for the whole time. I usually charge my 3000's at 3 amps and my 3300's at either 3.5 or 4. if you have any questions, or want me to elaborate further, feel free to ask me.
