also... paper charge value reader???? those things only read the voltages because with Alkalines, a drop in voltage usually means a drop in capacity. Not so with NiMHs.
To really determine the capacity of your batteries you have to use the discharge/refresh function on the lacrosse to see how much energy the charger has to "drain" out of the batteries.
Or a simpler test would be turn on a flash light and see how long the batteries can keep the light going for.
