doing it with both my nimh packs(both are 18 months old) and getting really hot when "peaked"

is this a battery problem?
They should get to 120-125F when they peak, if they're too hot to hold, then they're getting too hot. You can try reducing your peak sensitivity, but I'm guessing you'd have to be running NiMh mode in manual.
