The reason for this recommendation is the BC700 being a true processor-controlled charger with many useful functions – that you do not have to use if you do not want to. Without any manual setting it defaults to a charging current of 200 mA which is just fine for AAA NiMHs with their 800...1200 mAh capacity. Fast enough for convenience and safe end-of-charge detection, and slow enough for long battery life.

the best charge current is C/2 where C is the battery capacity (it means that the charge time is 2h)
The BC700 charger maximum current is 700mA which could be insufficient in some cases (AA size batteries for example)
