The discussion of charging nicads makes it sound as though a simple
power supply regulated to about 1.4 volts would be an excellent
battery charger.  Is that correct?

I have some GE Generator nicads that charge in one hour.  I am
interested in constructing a 12vdc powered charger for use in a car.

Can anyone suggest a resonable source of a simple schematic or
current and authoritive book.  The GE charger has about six ICs,
four power transistors on heat sinks, and an astonishing number of
wires.
