It may charge 9V NiMH rechargeable that are the ones smaller than a match
box with snap connectors, but being used for eight (8) 1400mAh NiMH cells,
NOT!!!

The battery is being charged very little.

Might work, but 1400 x 8 = 11200.

.  Charging Current 1.8A for battery packs with capacity above 2000mAh. For
3000mAh pack, charging time is 1.5 hours.

11200 is ~ 3.7 times 3000.

It does have a temperature sensor.
