With nickel cells, as long as the heat can get out trickle charge
current shouldnt be a problem correct?  So as you increase the ratio
of surface area to  volume (decreasing overall size) it should handle
a higher 'C' trickle charge.   Same as how some tool LiFe packs are
rated for many many C discharge, vs a large electric vehicle sized
pack couldnt push out the same C discharge because of heat not being
able to escape.
