As a general rule the slower the better. If you have the time then charge it at around .3 amps or so. If your in a rush then charge it at 1.1 amps. Try to avoid going above this.

Yes the rule is for every thousand MA it is 1amp. So your best setting is 1.1 amp.

Well, a rate of 1.1 amps isn't the best charge rate. It is the highest rate at which you should ever charge an 1100mAh (A.K.A. 1.1Ah) NiMH battery. As GRANT ED said, slower is better if you have the time.

I would charge it at 1 amp or less.

A 1100 Nimh battery charging at one amp would fully charge in about one hour.

What peak voltage drop should be used on these 2/3 cells? 3-5 mV per cell (same as sub c's)?
