My old school nicad chargers / dischargers discharge NiCd packs at 500mah - 1.0 amp rate depending on capacity. There's no memory to cycle on any battery but on Nicad.
Mgnostic is right about not letting nimh reach zero repeatedly or for extended time. Keep NiMh at about 1v per cell for storage and repeat a charge cycle on them every few months.
​​​​​​The whole idea behind Nimh is that you don't have any reason to ever discharge those packs.
