I think your at the point where you can stop your charge, wait a couple of hours and start a discharge cycle at about .2 amps (this is going to take a long time too) After that you've got to charge at .1A again, then they should be ready for use

Enigizer makes a nice little 4 AA charger that charges in 15 minutes. I got my wife one for her digital camera. I think it says that it charges them at 2.5A, but they are 2500Mah batteries....so that logic does not make too much sense.

It even has a little fan that kicks on to cool the batteries, as they come off too hot to hold almost. But you think being a manufacturer they know what they are doing?

This is it.....works great so far.....wonder how the battery life is going to be.....
