Assuming you have a good charger with a temperature sensor, you could charge them at up to 10A. It's probably a lot wiser to charge at more like 3A, and better still at 1A for about 15 hours. That said, that's based on general rule-of-thumb C/10 for NiMH; I couldn't find a datasheet for your batteries in particular.

This charger charges at a 2.0A rate: http://www.mahaenergy.com/store/viewitem.asp?idproduct=408
I've had it for almost 3 years now & love it.
