Maximum safe continuous charhe current NiMH Batteries



I am busy designing a AA NiMH battery charging circuit, and basically
they are being trickle charged. However to meet IEC 60950 I believe we
have to test the charge current with a shorted cell and a one fault in
the charging circuit. Does anybody know what the maximum charge
current can be before the batteries become dangerous. My circuit
currently limits the current to 300mA but I cannot find any data on
what is the maximum safe continuous charge current for a rechargeable
battery.
