I've got a few NiMH D cells. They take a long time to charge fully. The good news is that unless you use them a lot, you only need to top them up. I have a 3xD lantern and a 3xD Maglite, and I have no idea how long the batteries actually last because they've never died prior to a maintenance charge.
