the quotes are from Wiki who took them from battery manufacturers and consolidated the info. The facts stands, the charging a NiMH at 1C through a high quality charger using delta V program is the preferred method of charging these batteries and prolonging their life.
Slow charging also raises the temperature of the pack and for a longer time which also has a degrading effect on the cells.

The moral of the story is use a high quality charger and do not exceed 1C charge rate.

trickle chargers are great for "waking Up" battery packs after a few months of no use and thats exactly what I use my Futaba supplied TX/RX battery charger for and my batteries suffer no ill effects.

More often than not, the battery manufacturers know more about their own products than the people on internet forums... :/


glow fuel manufacturers, well thats another story...
