It is not easy - battery has three contacts. :) Connecting lamp
not working - third contact used to check is battery connected. I
think the charging circuit is working. I discharged battery
completely (just connect to this 4.8V battery 5V lamp for 3
hours). Then I put the battery into powered notebook for 10
minutes. And then checked battery if it was charged (with the
lamp). It was charged a little (not for a long time).

Exercising. Good idea. I will try it. But I do not know will work
with NiMH battery.
