I'm looking for AC/DC. Also wondering if Peak Charging is still a thing, or if there's a new scheme to look for for NiMH cells. I have a free HiTec that someone gave me but I don't seem to be able to set it to fully charge a 5000mAh pack.

It should fully charge a 5000mah pack as long as you let it peak charge over the built in 120 minute safety shutoff.
