Default will this work?

DISCLAIMER: I run tamiya plugs. I understand and realize the advantages of Deans or something similar. I don't care.

I'm building up a new crawler, and 6 cell stick packs won't work (no place to mount em...), which leaves me looking for new batteries. I found some batteries that I can mount on my axles... but I need to know if they'll work with my crappy charger.

I have this charger:

and I want to use these batteries:

Will it Work?

I'm stumped...

any suggestions?

Charge rate on the charger is too high, says to charge the battery pack at 1.5a and the charger charges at 2.5a

You already answered your own question. You can use it and then buy more batteries after you ruin them. Save your self some money and get a better charger.
