2nd is there a way to tell how much MAH is in a batt without going through the charge. just to check?
other than that this charger is sick compared to my old gws mc2002 
thanks for the ps confirmation it seems pretty good so far
just waiting on my 5s1p zippy H before i test it on lipos hurray i made the leap

I run 7cell pacs too with same charger - set of 4000 and a newer set of 4400 Maxamps pacs. I do not use auto - I charge mine at 5amps using 3 -5mv/c peak. Mine are getting to 125-135F when they peak - they are warm, but I can still handle them.
If you get NiMhs hot enough that you can't hold them, they are too hot like BrianG said. You are damaging them with that kind of temp - basically reducing life expectancy. I monitor mine with temp gun, especially toward the end, don't hesitate to pull them off if they are getting too hot. Better a little short on capacity than sacrifice 100's of cycles batt life wise.
