7210A-MPPT charge controller / step up only

Has anyone here used NIMH batteries for solar storage?
I am thinking of trying to use them, instead of Lead acid or Lithium.
If someone has used them, any info as pro and con or setup would be appreciated.
I have 3 100 watt panels and will have approx 1.6KwH of NIMH.
25p10s at 5.5Ah per 10s at 12v nominal. 5.5 x 25 x 12 = 1650 if my math is right.
I am planning on using an arduino to make my own solar controller.
