PWM is only needed if you really require a higher charging efficiency than a linear regulator can provide.
And you will need a feedback loop to control the current which is generally most easily done with an IC switching regulator chip.
I heard a friend said that there is someone in Taiwan that he applied a patent about the charging method, it seems used 90% to do the charging work and used 10% to do the discharge work, he claimed that is the best way for the batteries.
