I put a 2600 mah NM-HI battery in my HiTec transmitter last year. I have not charged it since last fall. I went to use it and noticed that the battery was very low. So being busy at the time I plugged it into the normal charger 50 ma. and left it for four days. It seem to stall out at 9.6V. I put it on my other charger at 140 ma. over night and it came right up. If you charge these batteries at 1/10 the capacity they get very hot when full. Anytime a battery gets hot is not good. I have noticed that these batteries come up to near full voltage before the capacity is full.
