Status: offline 		Most nimh batteries would benefit from a forming charge. Basically charge at a 10th of the capacity (I.e charge at 500mah for a 5000mah battery) for about 14hr or until warm- not hot. A stupid charger is bet for this. It could also be that the peak sensitivity for the cut off is incorrectly set. I would try a forming charge first. Good luck
