Well done but can overheat batteries

Quick and Dirty Review. First, these things are made qualitatively. I use AA batteries for work professionally, so I always have a bunch of charged batteries. As you can see from my photo I have 3. The screen looks cool with lots of information. Changing the settings is very easy. I want them to change the names of the different modes like "Enable", "Analyze". I thought I knew what they would do but apparently not. Although it doesn't really matter. I have a problem, and a pretty big one at that. Today I left some batteries in the charger all day for tomorrow's work. I checked them before I went to bed and all the batteries in the two chargers were very hot. They've been fully charged for several hours and the green lights come on letting him know they're fully charged. This can destroy batteries. This is a huge problem. The strange thing is that one of the batteries in the charger was cold. So I thought maybe it's a different firmware, it turns out they're all on the same one, so what should I do? Without this question, that would certainly be 5 ⭐. Has anyone found a solution for this? - Edit - The solution I found was to charge the batteries at 0.6A instead of 1.2A. Since then no problem has arisen. Hope this helps someone else.
