Will A Nicad Charger Charge Nimh Batteries. NiCd cells are more rugged and tolerant than NiMH ones of the same capacity therefore if the charger is made for NiMH cells it will work also for NiCd cells in trickle charge mode. Its pretty safe to charge a NiCd pack with NiMH settings but the pack will be slightly undercharged.
Nickel- and lithium-based batteries require different charge algorithms. A NiCd charger would overcharge NiMHDo not leave a nickel-based battery in the charger for more than a few days. The overnight charger that comes with most rechargeable powered products charges at a rate of C10 the C rate is the hour capacity of the battery ie.
So a 100 mAH battery would be charged at 10 mA for 16 hours.
These chargers continue to deliver current to the batteries even after the batteries are full charged. 2 x Tenergy RCR123A 16340 37 Volt Lithium Ion Batteries 650 mAh 2 Bay Powerizer Smart Charger. 44 out of 5 stars. 2Suitable for 1 or 2 pcs AAAAA NI-MH or NI-CD batteries.
