Default firs electric car : what is discharging ? and did i set it up right ?

hi
i am an old rc fun
This week i decided to get my first electric car
i got the hpi bltz , which is great
but all this new battery world was coming up
so without know to much about it i still got myself fast to the store
i end up with duratrax nimh 7 cell 8.4v 5000mah , and onyx 220 charger ,
the help me to do the setting on the charger , but i am not sure about that .
the settings are :
nimh
5000mah
5.0a(which is the max in this charger )
8m v/c
250ma
but every time i stop it in the middel the clock is counting again the time , how do i know how much time to put it on ?
does the charger know in what level is the battery and start from there ?
what is discharge ?

sorry for all the questions
and hope someone can shoot me some answers
