I have some questions to ask about charging nimh cells:
1.How do you tell when a nimh cell is fully discharged both open circuit current and closed circuit conditions ?
2.How do you tell when a nimh cell is fully charged on a open circuit ?
3.Will trickle charging nimh cells reduce lifespan when compared to a fast charge ?
4.Take a 200mah 8.4v nimh battery for example to charge it is simply a case of connecting a 7x 1.45 (10.15v) voltage supply across the battery with a resistor that controls charge current and waiting for the voltage to reach 10.15v before disconnection assuming fully charged?
