How long would it take a 7.2V 1800mAh Ni-Mh battery to charge?

Question

ive had this type of battery for quite awhile, but i was wondering how long it would take to charge. the average time ive kept it charging is 12 hours, beacuse the light on the charger never turns off, it just stays red. does anyone know if this is normal, or if the charge time is alot shorter and my battery is just frying itself when i leave it charging for so long.

Hi it's fine your using a tricale charger it will charge for ever with it and not hurt it. find on you charger how much it puts out .50 mAh witch is 1/2 amp then you will know what ever it says that's what it puts out every hour. .05 mAh = 1 every two hours I'm sure it is more then that this is just numbers I made up to show you Cool ? it most likly takes 8-10 hours to charge your battery but the charger will go into low charge so it will not hurt the pack.

Have fun
