Make sure to extend your antenna to alleviate RF front-end stress (because the RF front end is unmatched means energy is given off in the form of heat).
NiCD's which are chemically in good shape can take a fair bit of abuse...

Wow, lots of replies to my request for advice on the mis-charge (hitec
charger on JR tx). Even spawned a little mano a mano debate there, sorry
about that.
As for the charging incident itself, it seems that I've done fairly little
damage, though one of my packs may not be what it used to be, a little more
time will tell.
There was never any problem with the internal fuse, checked that right away.
The potentially damaged battery did seem to take a charge fairly well, once
on the right charger. I don't have sophisticated charging equipment, and will not be able to give
out capacity numbers on it, but I will treat it with caution for a while
until I'm more sure it's reliable.
Thanks for the info and perspective. Lift,
