Just charge them at around 4 amps unless your in a hurry. Then you could easily go 5....maybe more.

If there dead, it will take about 1 hour to charge a 3300mah pack at 3.3 amps (1C).

I'm assuming the batteries are used. If not, charge them at 100mah for the first couple of charges, then follow the instructions above.
