    I picked up a AAA NiMh battery charger.
    The label reads:
    Output: 1.2 V 800 mA
    AA/AAA charging: 120 mA

    Why the two different current specs?
    Does not compute -

    Maybe 800 mA is maximum rate and 120 mA persistent "trickle" rate (but
    does seem a bit high especially for AAA!)
