Google is your friend.

The initial or bulk phase of the charge cycle should be close to 10% of the batteries capacity. Since you have opted for low capacity 8v (170ah) the 13 amp charger is okay for these. 19 amps is over kill but will not hurt them as it will back down in the 2nd and 3rd phases of the charge algorithm.
