I have a NiMh battery pack for a Streamlight Stinger coming from Battery Junction. I am using the factory Streamlight A/C charger - not the smart charge, but what Streamlight is calling the 10 hour charger.

What do I need to know as I proceed with this battery? Thanks in advance.
 
It'll take longer than 10 hours to charge the NiMH because it has a higher capacity, I would expect it to require 12-14 hours.
 
At rates so slow, little overcharging shouldn't be a concern.
Overdischarging is way more dangerous, so don't let this light run until it just produces no more light, put battery in a charger as soon as it starts dimming.
