That happens with AAA batteries in a Radio Shack top gun charger... Now I know why. I use an old slow charger for these.OTOH, NiMH peak detecting chargers might prematurely terminate the charge of NiCd packs due to a "false peak" on voltage during the charge cycle.
The Radio Shack charger has a trickle function but stops once it thinks it has given enough charge so I cannot get the AAA Ni-Cd batteries to get slowly charged this way neither. I haven't returned the machine as it took me too long to see this but now I understand this is a machine's normal limit. The marketing is more intelligent than the charger...Peak detecting chargers with a temperature probe to end the charge cycle if the cell gets too hot should work OK for NiMH and NiCd. And trickle chargers should work with both.
