I have always heard that the rule of thumb for charging a depleted NiCd of NiMh battery is to charge it to 140% of its rated capacity. If you are charging 2700 mAHr cells at 200 mA, then you will need to charge them for 18.9 hours.

2700/200 is 13.5h, and you need to charge more
than rated capacity because charging is not 100% efficient.
