[Elecraft] NiMH batteries How do I test?

Unfortunately the charger is not that smart, but very effective.  It is a 200
mA constant charger no smarts other than knowing if the battery voltage too
low or too close to the supply voltage.  At 200 mA it is difficult to over
charge.  If the batteries are fully charged and you ask the charger to start
a new charge, you can get the error because the difference between the bat
voltage and the supply voltage is too small.  It is not really an error just
telling you that it can't charge.  Running them down increases the delta and
the charge circuit kicks in again.
