Charger question

Hello everyone, I have a little problem using a new charger? wishing to charge a Nimh 7.2 volt 2500 Mah battery, at 1\10, or 300 Mah, and after several tries, it cuts off after a few hours? and displays "safety cut off" when rereading the instructions, I discover that this function is set to 240 minutes? or 4 hours? If I'm not saying something stupid, 2500/300 = 9 hours to be at maximum capacity? Should this type of setting be modified? FYI, this is my first use of this type of charger. Thank you in advance for any help, have a good day

If this is a typical NiMh Powerpack i charge with minimum 1A - or with 1C.

Hello, thank you for your response, but my problem is that despite several different tests and settings, I cannot exceed 650 MAh for a 2500 Mah battery, without "safety time cut off" being displayed or these batteries are out of order, but what if a car bulb is plugged in? stays on for 4 hours?
