And yea, don't discharge NiMah, you're likely to cause damage to the battery and it's not necessary. If it doesn't say the charge rate anywhere on the charger (in which case it's a REALLY shitty charger) charge it until the battery is warm to the touch.

If it does say that charge rate, multiply it by 80% and divide the battery's Mah by that result. For example, if it is a 200mah charger and a 600mah battery: 0.8x200 = 160; 600 / 160 = 3.75. Charge for 3 hours and 45 minutes. (Anyone feel free to correct me if I did this wrong...). Or, you can charge till it's warm. Ideally they should be about the same amount of time.

My best advice is to spend the $60 on a not shitty charger.
i got 5.5 hours so ill do it tomorrow and see what happends thanks ill also buy a new charger would have got 1 awhile ago but spent money on my glocks
