After a bit more research, I find a couple of things which may have resulted in low charge rates with the sticks I cycled so far.

The charger has a default safety timer set to 120 minutes. That means that at 2 hours, regardless of what the voltage, capacity, delta peak etc. is, the charger will stop charging as a safety mechanism. I don't know, but if I understand correctly, 1 cycle of a stick could take longer than 2 hours. That being the case, none of the sticks I already did would have charged enough.

The delta peak settings were set at 3mv. If any of my cells dropped in voltage by that much, the charger would also stop charging.

The capacity cutoff was also wrong.

I have changed these settings, and I am running a different stick of 6 cells through the cycles.

Can you guys clarify for me, if the battery capacity is 6000, should the charges be showing closer to that number?
