The December 92 number of Elektor Electronics (the English version) contains some interesting constructions for NiCd users:
-a delta-peak NiCd charger, simple and low-cost construction, the construction is for 6 1.2 Ah cells (input is 12V) but can be modified to other amount of cells
-an automatic NiCd charger, for slow charging, charges connected cells when their voltage drops below preset level
-a temperature monitor for charging the NiCds
I have not build these so I can't tell how they work. If somebody has, please write comments to this newsgroup
