Hi all... with the charging of the 2 x 3600mAh for the starter box and the 1 x 1400mAh for the receiver pack, is the below the correct amps to charge these at?

3600mAh – Charge at 4.0-4.5 A
1400mAh – Charge at 0.7 A

Is this all correct?
 
I think the correct way would be 3.6 and 1.4...But I think you can charge nimh at a higher amp for faster charging, but dont quote me because I dont use any and am not positive.
 
3600mah=3.6 amps. 1400mah=1.4 amps. 5000mah=5 amps. And so on. Personally, I like staying on the safe side. So I would charge a 3600mah pack at about 2.5 amps. 1400mah rx pack at 1 amp.
 
I've always heard that you charge at 1000 of the MAH rating.

so 1500 would be 1.5amps, and 2000 mah would be 2.0 amps.

I've heard not to charge over 3amps.
