Default charging 1300 3S 25C with 10 amp supply?

First off I'm new to charging Lipos. I picked up an iCharger 106b+. I have at home a 10amp linear power supply. As of now I'm charging 1300 3S 25C batteries.

At what charge rate (or is it charge current) should I charge these batteries with. I see a place in the iCharger menu to set the "Charge Current", it goes from .05 to 10 amps. I assume this is the setting I need to adjust.

I've done some searching and it seems for best longevity of my batteries I should charge at 1C, for these batteries would be 1.3 amps.

Does that sound about right? I was told by an iCharger rep that I could charge these batteries at up to 8 amp with this supply.
