17/18A is a little on the low side. You want about 25% more current capability than you will be running for two reasons: 1) heats less 2) the output voltage won't drop as much and will stay within the 11-15v range of most chargers.

The 0610 is a 250w charger IIRC. To use it to full capacity, it would require:

Code:
Voltage   Min A    Safe A
 11.0V    28.4A    35.5A   
 11.5V    27.2A    34.0A   
 12.0V    26.0A    32.6A   
 12.5V    25.0A    31.3A   
 13.0V    24.0A    30.0A   
 13.5V    23.1A    28.9A   
 14.0V    22.3A    27.9A   
 14.5V    21.6A    26.9A   
 15.0V    20.8A    26.0A
The "Min A" column includes an 80% charger efficiency factor.
