Yeah i think i'll ease up on the charging ... the reason i fast charged last night is because whenever i charge at the rate i'm supposed to on my triton jr(.1-.2), it "times out" before its fully charged..... Its the old model of the triton jr, that doesnt let you disable that feature

What is your time limit?
Consider this:
First off you are not completely dischrging your battery to begin with so you won't need anywhere near 2000mah of replacement charge. I bet 1500mah probably would be close.
Divide that by your time limit (in hours) and see what rate you really need.
Another thing about fast charging NiMh on a peak charger is you can get a false peak and really not be near a full charge.
i believe it times out after an hour 1.5-2.0 hours
