Per your screen:
NiCd is your chemistry
1.0A charge rate
9.10v is the current peak voltage
CHG (status charging)
17:20 17min 20 sec (run time)
271 mAh charged so far..
Depending on how much charge your pack had, it might stop sooner or over the 1300mAh but don't worry about it too much. Battery should be warm to the touch.
If the charger stops (peaks) before the pack is warm to the touch, then you have a bad battery. One or more of the cells has high resistance and you can try reviving it by re-charging it at the same rate, or if that continues to fail, you will want to reduce the charge rate to sub 0.5A and charge over night.
