Depends on the batteries. Some nimh can be fast charged, specifically sub-c (not what you have, standard sized batteries) are generally designed with internals that can stand higher charging rates. If the battery really is a 150 mah AAA pack, that's quite impressively tiny. My cordless phone batteries are 600mah AAA cells. A 1 amp charge on those cells would be over 6C -- probably not the greatest idea.

I mean you can try it, but I would guess they would get real hot and potentially worse. I'm going to have to suggest you wait for somebody who's tried it to chime in.
