do you know anybody near you with a charger that you can try? I just bought a new battery pack from the local hobby shop, it was a NiMh 3000 mAh Large type battery and it works great, on the box it does NOT recommend trickle charging. so anything less than 500mAh could be considered trickle charging for large batteries, there was also s note in the box stating if you are using "small" type batteries do not charge over 1 amp charge rates and finally with a NiMh battery do not fully discharge them like Nicad's, you WILL ruin it. I think you need to make a trip to the local hobby shop that sells r/c cars n planes and invest in a good charger. For about $30 you can find a decent ac/dc charger that will work in your house and in a car(really handy if halfway through a milsim and your pack goes dead). The more expensive chargers are usually digital peak chargers and charge packs quite quickly, most of the new charges also auto detect if you are trying to charg NiCad or NiNh batteries. Here's the guide on the back of my battery pack.
