Status: offline 		It depends on the cell itself. Many NiMH should not be charged at over 1C, let alone 2C or higher.

The only way to know for sure is to experiment yourself. Start by charging the battery at 1C and flying it. Then increase to 1.2C, then 1.4C, 1.6C and so on. Keep an eye on the battery and feel it from time to time. If the battery is starting to get uncomfortably warm, then you should STOP charging immediately. You've gone too far. Drop back one step, and that's the maximum charge rate you can use.
