Battery Charger

I'm looking at making up a nightstick type battery with sub C size Ni Mh or Ni Cad. Can someone
recommend a smart charger (either circuit or built) which will charge these safely. (7.2 or 13.2
V) Voltage depends on what globe/s I decide on.

The charger/discharger, catalog number ZA0100, from oatleyelectronics.combattery.htmlOpen ↗
works great with
2.1 mAh NiMH AA cells. I wouldn't expect any problem with sub-C cells.

I've now set up someone else with one as well. We're both using Cateye HL-1600 5-cell rechargeable
headlights, so we use these chargers with the voltage switch in the middle (6 volt) position.

Only 3 orders of magnitude out - better make that 2100 mAh.

angelfire.comcharge1.htmlOpen ↗. I built a couple of these, with the
addition of a switch to toggle a resistor so that I can charge either 6v or 12v. They work fine with
bottle batteries and stick batteries.
