OMG, thanks for your suggestion, i've never thought of that!
I will see whats going on with the 3mV sensitivity and report back.
Meanwhile,
I am copying this from the manual of the charger:

Press DOWN to find the PEAK SENSITIVITY screen. This value determines the sensitivity/accuracy of the peak detection circuit. The factory default value of 8mV is acceptable for NiCd and NiMH batteries. Adjustment of this value can help match the characteristics of your battery to the charger for better peak charges. The recommended settings are 5-15mV for NiCd batteries, and 3-10mV for NiMH batteries. A lower number means the cycler will try to be more precise in finding peak charge, but in certain situations could cause the cycler to errantly stop peak charge too quickly, in which case it may be necessary to increase this number to 8mV or greater (especially if using AC input power). Press CHANGE, then UP or DOWN to find the desired peak sensitivity value. Press CHANGE to confirm selection.
