Default AAA/AA NiMh battery capacity meter - has anyone seen such a thing?

I have two (sometimes three) chargers of varying degrees of smartness,
they all use deltaV to detect full charge. I often find that some
batteries won't start charging in one charger but will start in
another, the trouble is that there's no consistency as to which
charger works.


I have the Lidl one which takes all sizes. And sometimes it won't start
charging a cell. Just leave it 'on charge' for a while then remove and
replace that cell - it usually starts then.


I found that removing a cell that is fully charged and putting it back on
charge after a few seconds results in about 10 - 15 min. more charging.
I don't know if this is good, bad or useless.
