Are fast chargers bad?

I don't know if an official datasheet for the GX16's exists, but if (even) the Chinese sellers, who are maybe not that conservative with the values, state it's for 5A max, I wouldn't go above it ;)

EDIT: Whoopsie, had the GX12 pic there first... this one claims 7A for the 3-pin version, but many sellers say 5A max for GX16-3. I'd stay at 5A or below just to be safe, having the charger connector melt would suck pretty hard ;)

Also at least on the original Firewheel-packs, the wire's on the charging side are much thinner, seems to say something like 22AWG, which can't handle very much current either (7A for chassis wiring according to  http://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htm ).
