Yes it was a  <font color="#000000">NiMH</font>. Ok, so the pack is wasted as i thought? Great news. I guess i'll be looking into that other charger from tower hobbies. It seems strange that I had run this pack and recharged it a few times already and had not had an issue before with it getting hot like that. I won't take a chance though. I'll just get a better charger.
As always, thanks for the great info guys.
