If they're new why do you need to charge them? They may already be fully charged.
It's normal for a long charge - 14 hours - to use 0.1C, that is 10% of the capacity, so in your case 300mA.
The USB Port can potentially supply 500mA, but that shouldn't do any harm.
When you overcharge them they get very hot, although they should survive OK. Check the terminal voltage. If it's at 1.4 volts or slightly above it's full.
