[NTLK] Battery charging currents

Another newbie question:

The MP2000 has battTrax installed on it. Yay. It also has the NiMH battery
pack. Yay, again. On charging though it says that it is charging at over
1,000mA!!! That's a WHOLE AMP! That seems to be a lot of current for a
piece of portable electronics. I'm worried about frying it.

I am using an adapter that provides 7.5V from 240V and is rated for 0.9A. I
am using it quite a lot and so I'm charging it every two days. But a charge
seems to be done in 10-20 minutes! This is amazingly low. Is this normal?

Thanks in advance
Tony.
