Cyclic Use:
Semi-constant or constant current charging at the 0.1C (C/10) rate for 15 hours is recommended. Overcharging at C/10 for long periods of time can be done at room temperature without causing damage.
Cell sizes ranging from 1/3AA to SC can also be quick charged for 4.5 to 6 hours at the 0.25C (C/3-C/4) rate. Quick charging larger cells (C-cell and up) requires a controlled charge circuit because of the heat and gas generated during overcharge.
