Bill; Depends on the type NIMH how they like to be charged. For high capacity 3300 cells for electric flight motor packs, up to a 5 amp charge. Steve Neu did a nice article in quiet flyer about this a while back. I generally use 3.5-4 amps on a 28 cell pack. They do like cycling to achieve maximum capacity. For flight packs, "normal capacity" cells should respond to charging similar to nicads if a sensitive cutoff voltage is used. The key is a quality charger and quality cells. Monitor capacity regularly, always good advice.
Cheap is as cheap does, to paraphrase Forrest Gump. Now Lipo's scare me a little still...
