Re: effect of high charging current on NiMHs

Yes, i do AA's at 750ma regardless of capacity. That is enough to peak charge. If I'm in a hurry i use 1.25A, again the 0.5C level.

I have seen 3000mah A cells charged at 10 amps. Then again they are designed for it and are discharged at 25+ amps.

Typical nimh aa cell will run hot when loaded at 1A. Which AA cells can supply 25A?

I did not say AA, I said A cells (often 5/4 A). Yes, they get hot enough when discharged you cant hold them in your hands very long. I remember they were Sanyo. Used in R/C plane, flight time of 6 to 8 minutes.
