( Or decade old Rayovac 15 minute ).
Keep in mind the mA to each cell drops if you have 4 vs 2 AA in there, so a "fast" 2~ hour charge becomes a slow 4~ hour charge fully loaded.
2. Not very good at refreshing marginal cells. Have 1 AAA that it doesn't like when charging with another. Have to single cell charge it, even using another brand of charger because it blinks red (can't charge) in my Panasonic charger. (All made in Japan cells.)
Got to this condition because my headlamp uses 3 AAA cells, so I charge 2 AAA in one bank, 1 AAA in its own bank in the Panasonic.
Other chargers with refresh capability can get around this cell issue, or just any dumb, overnight slow charger to push in a charge no matter what.
it's up to the charging circuit/controller to decide how it charges individual cells. The more parallel the batter, but that also increases cost for both material and R&D. Likely only their manufacturer knows.

Now if we are talking about Li-ion batteries that's another story. It's a good practice to use them in 20-80% charge range in order to last them longer. Leaving them in 100% or 0% for a long time will decrease their capacity.
