Will this hurt my battery? (video)
You will all find out quickly that I love making videos of the things I do. 
I hope they bring some form of entertainment.
I'm using a quick charger from my HobbyZone parkflyer. It says that it charges between .30A-1.2A. The original battery that it charges is a Ni-MH 8.4V 1000mAh 7-Cell. The Mini-T's battery is a 7.2V 1100mAh 4-Cell.
I know it charges the battery, but the light on the charger doesn't work as it normally does. It only blinks on and off for about 20 seconds then it stops, BUT it remains charging.
I just don't want to over charge it and shorten it's life span.

Please excuse the bird seeds and feathers! My bird is a little messy!

Nah, your battery will be fine, that charger is good for 4-7 cells. I assume your pack is a 6 cell, and your description above was a typo...? If not, I've got some cheating to do, how are you getting 7.2v out of 4 NiMH cells please?

The battery is the stock Mini-T battery! No type!

I'm sorry, when I looked at the battery, it was still in my Mini-T. It is 6-Cell!
