I had one of the "smartchargers" I snagged off of ebay and it fragged one battery pack and wouldn't charge several others past a few hundred mAh (higher quality chargers work perfectly with said packs, other than the fragged one of course.)

NERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDD!!!!
I just go by the simple math of milliamps per hour of the battery, and by the charge rate I set my charger at. 600mAh will charge in roughly 40mins at a setting of 1A; my 1400mAh will be about 1.5 hours; my 3300mAh will be 3.3hours at 1A, or around 45mins if I blast it at 4A (which I never do).
Then again, I just wait til my charger starts beeping.
