I have a Uniross CX2000 battery charger for Ni-cads. Can this be used
to charge Ni-MH batteries?
The CX2000 is a low output charger (about 120mA max) which takes 14 to
16 hours to fully charge a battery. That charging regime is pretty
benign and should be fine for NiMH as well as NiCd as long as you
don't leave the battery on charge for several days.
A fairly simple, but reliable, test is the battery temperature. If
they are getting quite warm to hot when held in the hand they are
being overcharged and damaged.
