It's kinda hard to suggest what to say without knowing what chargers they have etc.

You could suggest a basic amp rates to charge at.... around 5 amps for sub-c batteries and about 1 amp for the small stuff, AA, 2/3A etc.

Higher rates will build more heat during charge and tend to give more punch if you use it hot off the charger. But newbies and bashers really don't need that, and it's harder on the batts long term.

I assume they are using peak chargers? There really isn't much to it with a peak charger. The packs should be warm when done charging... if not, keep charging.
