i decided to upgrade my charger and got the tb6b. it came in and i have started to try and use it. watch a couple videos on youtube to learn the basics of the charger. now my question is i have put a 7.2v 5000 mah nihm battery on it to charge to see if i got it setup right. its been charging for 25+ min now and is saying the voltage is up around 9v. to me that doesnt seem right. any help would be great before i start exploding batteries. ive never had a charge like this. just the ones you plug it in and select the battery and hit start. thanks

The charger is likely a "peak charger", when you input the battery chemistry & cell count, the charger is looking to see the pack voltage level off and then stop the charge.

You should be fine.

Note: NiCD/NiMH should be "warm" at full charge, NOT hot.

thanks for your reply. it did stop about ten min after my post and was warm. did have me worried when it was ready 9+ volts.
