It is a Nimh. You can top it off but from time to time you should wait till it is at approx. 25% before charging.

The answer is yes you can..If it's a NiMh..The NiMh dont have a memory so you can do this, but you need to cool the battery down before topping it off. If it was an electric powered car/truck I would not recommend doing this just from a performance standpoint, If you allow the battery to cool down you wont do any damage to the cells. On a receiver pack your charging it at 1 amp..maximum voltage is not really what your looking for..run time is what you want. I have been doing this for years racing with no problems. The best way to do it though is to get another receiver pack and swap them throughout the day..
