On RadicalRC's website it says you CAN charge nimh batteries at 1C, or even above 1C for that matter, but it is not the recommended charge rate. They suggest C/10 as the common charge rate (200mah for a 2000ma battery) to prolong the life of the battery.
Yup, but remember that this is a DIFFERENT situation.
The OP asked about getting "consistent" readings, e.g. testing the battery, which lead to the higher charging rate recommendation.
Ordinarily I charge NiMH and NiCD's at about .5C or so, but to test using the cycling/historical feature of the ICE charger I always use a 1C charge.
