1000mAh can't be correct for a AA NiMh. There exists 1000 mAh AAA's though. Probably a typo since the JBL takes AA.

Would this charger meet your description of a slow charger?
Maha MH-C204W White World Battery Charger
The C204 is not classified as a slow charger. Slow charging is generally defined as:
1. Done on a dumb charger, as in timed, not with smart termination.
2. At a rate no greater than C/10 for 14-16 hours. C being capacity of the cell divided by 10. Take the Eneloop AA 2000 mAh, for example. 2000 mAh divided by 10 gives 200 mA for a slow charge lasting 14-16 hours.

The 204 though, is generally regarded as a good choice of charger. Very complete, as in thorough, charge.

The batteries I will be using for this test:
ANSMANN 2500 AA LOW DISCHARGE NIMH
From the little bit of discussion I've read, they seem to be pretty decent, capacity wise. In that thread, a dealer of the Ansmann product stated they are more of a hybrid between high capacity standard cells and true low self-discharge cells.

And one more link.
