The chargers that came with the Magicshine are rated at 1.8 amp. The chargers that come with the clones are rated at 1.0 amp. Since the Magicshine charger seems more robust/trustworthy than the clone chargers, I would like to use it for charging the clone batteries. Any reason why not?
I can't see any reason not to.
In general, you want to charge lithium batteries at 1C, which in layman's terms is 1 x the mAh rating. If your batteries are 3400 mAh (I think that's what I've read of these lights) then you can safely charge at 3.4 amps. Lower than the 1C rating will just take longer to charge.
