The batteryis made up of 4 LIthium-Iron cells in a pack branded 'Charge-Pak E1 Li-Ion 3.7v 8800mAh'. Incidentally isn't the off-load terminal voltage of a fully charged Li-ion cell 1.2v.? If so, four in series should be 4.8v, surely, not 3.7v?
14 Hours for a NiCd or NiMH would be about right unless they're going in for fairly brutal 'Fast charging'. However, you'd expect that to be at 0.1C, that is 900mA or so.
If it's Lithium it could be a lot higher.
What does the Manual say?
