Charging NiMH Batteries.
Hi, I have had a nicad charger for many years. But now all rechargable batteries are NiMH types and i find that my old nicad charger does not fully charge them. Why is this? Malc.
Google is your friend but you will find a lot of conflicting opinions. That said the consensus seems to be you cannot and more importantly should not charge NiMH Batteries with a NI-Cd charger. This is due to the different charge-rates of Ni-Cad & Ni-Mh batteries, one of three things may happen if you attempt to use a NI-Cad charger to charge Ni-Mh batteries.
- The charger will only ever part-charge the Ni-Mh batteries - this is what you're experiencing
- The charger will over-charge the batteries - low probability of this happening.
- The charger will correctly charge the batteries - Very low chance of this happening.
The best sort of charger is one of the more expensive types that can auto-detect when the battery is fully charged and switch to trickle charging mode. Avoid the ones that will simply charge for a set time period as they may well over charge the batteries and shorten their life.

In one.
One of my older cordless phones actually had a battery setting in its menu for NiCd/NiMH.
Hi, many thanks for the info. My nicad charger i have had for 30 years, Uniross make. I have located Uniross NiMH charger of similar design on the net. Awaiting delivery. Cheers, Malc.
