Nicad chargers do not generally have temperature sensors, unless
they're built into the battery pack. Furthermore, a NiMH cell can
tolerate higher temperatures than a nicad so, again, a charger
designed for nicads is likely to shut off too soon rather than too
later.

** What an utterly STUPID non sequitur !!!

Why don't you think before yelling?

** JESUS H. CHRIST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU are one ARROGANT ****ING IDIOT

There is NO sense in you para above at ALL !!


NiMH cells can be rather brutally charged without damaging them, at a rate
that most nicads would not tolerate.

** ABSOLUTE ******** !!!!!!!!!!!

The reverse is the case.


Thus, the temperature sensor in a NiMH charger is likely to
be set higher than in a nicad charger. Placing NiMH cells in such a
charger
will likely lead to undercharging the cell,

YOUR WORDS !!!!!

Makes NONSENSE of your idiotic claims.

YOU DEMENTED ****WIT !!!!!!!!!!!!



I worked for several months at Microsoft Hardware. One of my projects
was documenting Microsoft's rapid charger for its cordless mice. Though
nicad and NiMH cells are more alike than different, the latter are
usually pushed to higher charging cut-off voltages and temperatures.
A nicad charger is not likely to damage NiMH cells.

** ********.

Chargers that are looking for the battery voltage to peak then come
DOWN will NEVER stop if NiMH cells are being used instead of NiCd.

Again, you have it backwards.


** YOU have it BACKWARDS

YOU ****ING DEMENTED IDIOT !!!!!!!!!


Perhaps, you brainless ignoramus, you might
like to discuss this with the engineers I worked with.

** Let them and YOU SUCK on this ****HEAD:

" The minus delta V bump that is indicative of end-of-charge is much less
pronounced in NiMH than NiCad, and it is very temperature dependent. To make
matters worse, new NiMH batteries can exhibit bumps in the curve early in
the cycle, particularly when cold. Also, NiMH are sensitive to damage on
overcharge when the charge rate is over C/10. Since the delta V bump is not
always easy to see, slight overcharge is probable. For this reason
PowerStream does not recommend using minus delta V as a termination
criterion for nickel metal hydride batteries. "

" dT/dt Charge system NiMH batteries do not demonstrate such a pronounced
NDV voltage drop when they reach the end of the charging cycle as can be
seen in the graph above and so the NDV cut off method is not reliable for
ending the NiMH charge. Instead the charger senses the rate of increase of
the cell temperature per unit time. When a predetermined rate is reached the
rapid charge is stopped and the charge method is switched to trickle charge.
This method is more expensive but avoids overcharge and gives longer life.
Because extended trickle charging can damage a NiMH battery, the use of a
timer to regulate the total charging time is recommended. "


FOAD you PITA IMBECILE !!!
