I would either choose some other H type at random (it likely
won't matter), or use Li+. To be procedurally accurate I would
create my own type by using experimental data from neutron
scattering if available, plugging the first radial distribution
peak of H+ and water O into the vdw parameter equation derived
in Ross and Hardin (JACS 116, 6070 (1994)) to get R* for epsilon
of .1, then verify the 1st peak in a simulation with water.

The charge comes from the residue definition. You would need
to define a H+ residue, see amber7/dat/leap/lib/ions94.cmd.

Try setting it to 2 - the charge will remain 1.
