There are usually a fuse inside the transmitters, often rated at 1A to protect against shorts when the owner mess with his charge-leads 
Rule of thumbs says NiCd can be charged at 2C max, but this is a general rule only. If your batteries have the AA-shape they are NOT for quick-charge. I would not have charged at more than 6-800mA on these batteries. And only if I were in a hurry.
