Default Quick Charging a 3PK Nickel Cadmium Battery

Can you quick charge a Nickel Cadmium battery out of a 3Pk radio?

Its a 700 mAh battery. It says you can quick charge it at 210mA for 5 hours.

Is there a quicker way to charge it? I spend 9 hours stright at the track practicing. I dont want to have ANY down time... ( I need all the practice I can get)

I have a DuraTrax Piranha digital charger..

What is the quickest and safest way to chrge this battery? what setting would I set it too.

Do these batteries have a memory?
