Never knew about the xC rating, learned something today (good job!) and yes, it makes sense since the output is in amps (much higher than milliamps) based upon that xC thing.
Will add (for his info) charge rate of whatever battery you choose is based roughly upon the capacity of the battery and the output of the charger. So if you have a wall wart charger that has a DC output of 1A (or 1000mA), and your battery is 1600mAh capacity, it'll fully charge in about 1.6 hours. A 3600mAh with the same charger output will charge it fully in about 3.6 hours. Just be warned, unless you get a smart charger (at least $60 all the way up to AEG price), you'll need a charger that can handle charging seven (8.4V) to eight (9.6V) cells. I have Prophet Plus I bought in 2003, it can only do up to seven cells fully, but isn't rated for eight cells, but can charge enough to test fire a gun if I worked on it. Never owned a 9.6V before, but fixed enough internal damage caused by them I've had to deal with 9.6V batteries in the past. IMHO, not worth buying, stick with 8.4V.
