I'm right here.
I've never had one of those in person, but since it hooks to a CC charger (NiMH), it can only do the CC portion of the charge. If it tried to do the CV stage, the charger would error out (because the voltage would keep increasing rapidly in an attempt to maintain the CC) and/or the daptor would get quite warm. The only thing it does is terminate the charge based on a cell voltage rather than a delta peak.
Since it does the CC portion of the charge only, you don't quite get the full charge. How much the battery is missing will be determined by the battery. I've had some batteries that don't take much charge at all past 4.2v/cell, while some take up to ~15% of the charge during CV stage.
