Does rapid charging reduce the life of batteries?
No. So long as it is done using a properly designed, smart charger, most NiMH batteries can be recharged in about an hour without any damage or reduction in their life. However, NiMH batteries must be rapid charged with a charger specifically designed for charging NiMH batteries. Chargers designed to charge NiCd batteries can overcharge NiMH batteries. Even a standard or slow NiCd charger can damage NiMH batteries.
