Since the A4 was released, the charge protocol for NiMH has changed significantly to better represent the characteristics of the cell chemistry. If memory serves (I owned one, then ditched it) only the peak overvoltage was dropped by a few mV as compared to the NiCD algorythm. The current acce

That's the probelm with employing a NiCD charger that peak-detects for NiCD instead of NiMH. NiMH are endomthermic, while NiCD technology is exothermic. This means as an NiCD becomes fully charged, the increase in heat causes an increase in internal resistance, which lowers the charge V, which t

Charge rates @ C/1 are fine including your 's as long as the charger algorythm is geared for NiMH, and not NiCD. There seems to be some unfounded concerns about charging regular duty (consumer or commercial grade) NiMH cells at anything < enough to put a small enough charge (C/10 or so) on
