Default RX battery screwup

Hi all;
I screwed up! I had a very low volt 4-cell, 1200ma Nicad RX pack I wanted to charge. I mistakenly put it on the TX side of my Accu-Cycle Elite, which is set for 8 cells @ 125 ma. I charged overnight. What will be the consequences?
Thanks everybody.

The current rate was too low to mess up the battery pack after only an overnight charge. I would recommend testing the pack using a discharger to accurately measure the pack capacity, just to be on the safe side.

As Bliksem said, cycle the battery a few times to see if anything happened to it. If the capacity remains the same over 3 or 4 cycles then you should be fine.
