You charge your 9.6v using 3.0 amps in 15-18 minutes?
It is really not a very healthy way to charge battery.

If you are using a 9.6v 1700mAh Nicd,

slow charge it @ < = 200mAh
OR
fast charge it @ < = 2amps (if you are in a hurry)

You will damage your expenseive battery if you charge it too fast

By the way: I will vote for G&P CQBR as well.
