I think it is easy to see that people are easily mislead when it comes to AA batteries. There is huge amounts of falsly inflated mah figures and some very comical marketing going on. Do a capacity check on these batteries.
If you want to extend battery life charge at 0.5C with a delta peak charger and if you are charging with a dumb charger then yes you can charge way below that although i don't think many people have the dumb chargers anymore. These are just unregulated power supplies. You will need to time your charge with these as they will continue charging if not turned off manually. If you do charge with a dumb charger you will also need to determine what capacity your pack actually is. The reason for this is if the pack has a false mah figure you could be overcharging your ****mah pack that is labeled as a 3000mah pack.
Probably the best place for information on AA cells is candlepowerforum. You can find real results here normally done a CBA or CBAII.
