The other day I read that charging NiMH in 60 minutes might harm the =
batteries.  My 1800 ma/h AA batteries do in fact get quite hot during the =
charging.  I leave the lid off just for cooling.  The article recommended =
4 hour charging when you had the time and 60 or 90 minute chargers when =
you didn't :)

Anyway the other day I saw a charger from Energizer that claimed to work =
in 30 minutes!  That sounds like a ploy to destroy batteries and force the =
consumer to buy more NiMH batteries or maybe even give up and go back to =
disposables!  A 2000 ma AA would be getting around 4 amps to charge in 30 =
minutes....that seems quite excessive! =20

I'm just a newbie here but I was wondering what you guys and gals had to =
say!?

Thanks,
Tim
