Default only Ni-Mh batteries, a better man than I

Then why is there a toggle switch on my 4 cell charger to switch to either
Ni-MH or Ni-Cad batteries?

I think it's because Ni-Mh charge at a slightly higher voltage?


irrelevant. Nickel hargers feed current and look for a voltage DROP as
the charged state is achieved. Chargers that are run this way limit
current, and switch off when they detect fully charged conditions. They
will charge as few or as many cells as they have supply voltage to force
current into.
