Default How do I know NiMH done charging (wall charger)?

Probably a stupid question that I think I know the answer to: I have a new RC car that came with a stock battery and wall charger. The battery is a 7.2 v 3800 maH battery. Unfortunately, there were no instructions in regards to the battery/charger. My boat came with a stock battery/charger and with that setup, you charge until the battery gets hot. Is this the way all wall chargers/NiMH batteries work? This battery has been charging for like 6 hours and it still isn't hot. I haven't run my boat in a while, but don't remember the battery taking that long to charge, though the battery is smaller 7.2v 1100 mAH.
