Default DX-7 Tx very warm ?

I'm charging the factory supplied NiMh's in my DX-7 at c/10, and the case is very warm at end of charge. Anyone else experiencing this ?

For a 1500mah battery c10 would be 15amps, c1 would be 1.5amps and c/10 would be 150mah

Thats very high for a NiMH, the battery pack is 1500mAh. The safe limit is 1.5Ampers which is 1 C.
C10 is 15amperes, absolute no-no

Starzak stated in his first post that he was charging at C/10 which would be 1/10th of the capacity.
