I have some (2) 3.6 CR2 Li-Ion batteries and a charger. The charger came with minimal instructions. Here are the specs:

Model:SE-CR2
Input 1: 110-240V~50-60Hz
Output: 2x4.2V-300mA±50mA
60mA at 1.5 hrs (standard charge)
300mA at 2.4hrs (Quick charge)

I'm just wondering how long I should charge the two batteries as they are not protected. I really don't wanna end up like Electron with his battery situation:

Also, it doesn't make sense to me that it would take 1.5 Hrs at 60mA but 2.4 Hrs (longer) if it is at 300mA. Shouldn't it charge quicker with a higher current?
