Charge them at about 2amps

Just to add a bit to that, use the NiCd Linear charge mode & set the voltage threshold to 5mV(to start, try that setting & see how the cells feel after they peak, if they seem a bit warm, then try a step smaller threshold). That's how I charge my micro packs(I also have an original Millenium & a Millenium Pro, the non-Pro is what I typically use for the micro packs & for my transmitter batteries, works quite well)....

A good rule of thumb to go by is the mah of the pack. 1100 mah would be 1.1 amps, 1000 mah would be 1 amp, 1500 mah = 1.5 amps, ect.

You can do 2 amps but the stock pack isnt that good and it would make it fairly hot.

To take that info one step further....1100mah pack 1.1 amps also =1c.
Charging nimh you really dont want to go above 2c or 2.2 amps.
Charging at 1.1amp will take about 60 min (totally discharged pack)
