What is "es"? One hour should give you more than enough time to charge a 4200 pack since you're charging at 5.5A (~1.3C). Delta peak is 6v? That must be for the whole pack. The chargers I've used rated this "per cell", not as a whole, and is usually a low number - like 0.05v.

Cut-off sounds like the discharge setting. Trickle is OK.

The discharge will probably be limited by the charger capability to something like 3A, so no worries there.

How hot is the pack after you are done charging? How hot after a run? Like I said, heat can damage NiMHs.
