Default Quick Charging NiCads??

Hi all,

I bought myself a swallow quick charger but not fully understanding how to use it for best results.

I destroyed one of my batteries by charging at 3Amps (completed in 3 mins) But it no longer holds its charge.

Okay so now i got a new NiCad 1000Mamps, how many amps should i have my quick charger set to to charge it?? A fellow club member told me i should never go above 1amp, is this true? And also, do i have to discharge the battery with the swallow before charging it again?

Thanks for any input!
