Do not trickle charge IB cells! If you get them full during normal charge, trickle will destroy them in a long run, because of the heat. Set trickle to 0.00.

My settings for IB4200SHV & WC

Delta peak 2-3mVc, depending of the pack
Charge current 5A
Disharge to 1.1V &10A, next to 1.0 &1A (per cell)
Every 10 or so cycles balance them with dishcarge tray.
Trickle 0.00A

I get 4200-4700 mAh into my packs, oldest have +40-50 cykles in them.

In any circumstance do not slow charge IB cells, 1C is slowest charge recomended, my experiense 5A is best
