i noticed the cheap rayovac aa nimh are venting at 1a charge on my c9000.nothing violent just an occasional hiss.these things are losing capacity too.down to 900mah now.spec is 1400.
not missing termination or overheating.
with all the deals on lsd cells now these are to be skipped now.with 4.0's at $5/4 these are not a contender anymore.
 
If they are down to less than 900 mAh you should really be charging them at less than 900 mA, preferably at 500 mA...
they are showing a bit of white crusty stuff now.
they all hit the trash this morning.these were only a few months old.the gold 2000mah rayovacs in the second set are next to go to the can.they are down to 1250 and a few just read high on the maha.
these are 6 years old with 350+ hard cycles on them.
