<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What rate are you charing at and what mil pack are
you trying to charge? They will get warm but should not get any
warmer then you can handle in your hands. If it is a new pack it should be
charged at C/10 before using your Alpha. For some reason if they are not
formed properly chargers like the Alpha,SuperNova will not peak detect
properly. I seen this happen in a pack that I didnt form properly. It
wouldnt cycle at all. It would trip out(peak) way before the battery was fully
charged.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have charged NiMh at up to 1C with no ill
effects. But C/10 is always the safest and easiest on your
packs.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4>What chargers work well with Nimh batteries? I've tried
various settings on my Alpha 4 but end up unplugging the batteries before it
goes to trickle because they start heating up. I'm looking for something that
can be left unattended without worry.</FONT></DIV>
