In section 3 of the datasheet, it states that the device supports charge currents of up to 10A.
The controller needs external support circuitry to do this, see the typical system diagram (from page27 of the datasheet):

The current is set by external components for the constant current phase, as is the cut-off current level when in constant voltage mode. On page 27 of the datasheet, it states:
Refer to the EVMuser's guide (SLUU396) for EVM information.
Although you may not use the evaluation module, it will feature a more complete description of the various circuits and will give greater insight into successfully implementing the charger.
Normally, we do constant current at the C rate, so for your 6.8Ahour battery, I would normally set that current at 6.8A, but check the battery datasheet as not all batteries are made equally. The battery manufacturer datasheet is your final guide here.
I suggest you thoroughly read section 9 in the datasheet, where a very detailed description of device operation and implementation is given.

When charging series stacks of Lithium batteries, the individual voltage of each should be indepently monitored for safety reasons.
Linear Technology, Maxim, TI and others have solutions for this.
For batteries in series, use the charge current for each - in this case, the charge current for a single battery.
